Distillery
The Balvenie Whiskies have a definite distillery character, all the whiskies are sweet with honey and vanilla notes. This distillery character is then nicely combined with flavours of different casks. The marriage of fruity flavours with the honey and vanilla makes Balvenie a typical Speyside distillery. The core range is large with the 12 years Double Wood as their leading Whisky, and the core range goes up to the 30 year-old. These Whiskies become even better as the sweet and soft tones are complemented with oak and darker flavours like leather or cigars.
