The Story
Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 year Single Malt Scotch
Stories always start at the beginning (unless they're one of those purposely confusing stories likeĀ MementoĀ or thoseĀ FunnybonesĀ books - it's never explained why they're skeletons!), and this is the introductory release from The Balvenie Stories range! These releases all give light to events and people in Balvenie's past and present - this one, for example, takes inspiration from apprentice malt master Kelsey McKechnie and her idea to import virgin oak barrels from Kentucky and deeply toast them at the distillery's cooperage. They were then filled with Balvenie's ex-bourbon oak aged whisky for a finishing period, resulting in... Well, this very whisky you see here!
