Balvenie 12 Golden Cask
The Balvenie 12 Golden Cask is an exceptional single malt whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland. This whisky has been matured for 12 years in traditional ex-bourbon casks, which gives it the classic Balvenie characteristics of warm, smooth honey. The whisky is then given an additional period of maturation in rum casks, resulting in bold layers of tropical candied fruit and vanilla. This combination of maturation methods gives the Balvenie 12 Golden Cask its unique and complex character.
