Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie whisky, Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie had the bright idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels. Every step along the journey, which spans 3,792 miles from the heat of Kentucky to the hills of Speyside, is finely tuned to produce the finest and sweetest whisky. The only wood burned on the fire is white oak. An intoxicating nutty and marzipany smell of all the vanillins within the American Oak, like freshly baked bread. In the glass this is a complex whisky with incandescent notes of caramelised fruits, delicate vanilla and oak. The classic Balvenie flavor is enhanced by even stronger, sweeter coconut and warm honey notes. It has taken on a really amazing fruity flavour and the colour is really rich.

Balvenie is a renowned Scottish distillery that has been producing some of the finest single malt whiskies for over a century. Located in the Speyside region of Scotland, Balvenie is known for its traditional methods of whisky production, which have been passed down through generations of master distillers.

The history of Balvenie dates back to 1892, when William Grant, the founder of the distillery, purchased a plot of land in Dufftown, Scotland. He then built the distillery by hand, using local materials and traditional methods. Today, Balvenie is still owned by the Grant family, and the distillery continues to produce some of the most sought-after whiskies in the world.

Balvenie is known for its range of single malt whiskies, which are aged in a variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, and port. The distillery is also known for its use of traditional methods, such as floor malting, which involves spreading the barley out on the floor of the malting room to germinate.

One of the most popular whiskies produced by Balvenie is the Balvenie DoubleWood. This whisky is aged in two different types of casks – first in American oak barrels, which impart a vanilla and honey flavor, and then in European oak sherry casks, which add a rich, spicy flavor to the whisky.

Another popular whisky produced by Balvenie is the Balvenie Caribbean Cask. This whisky is aged in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. This gives the whisky a unique flavor profile, with notes of tropical fruit and spice.

Overall, Balvenie is a distillery that is steeped in tradition and known for its high-quality single malt whiskies. Whether you are a whisky connoisseur or a casual drinker, Balvenie is a distillery that is sure to impress.
