The first 12 years of this whisky’s life is spent aging in Ex Bourbon Casks with the next 9 months then resting in ex Sherry Casks. This is ultimately an extremely mellow whisky with layers of honey, nutty fruit and light spice.###Product DescriptionBalvenie remains unique in its growing its own Barley as it has done since its inception in 1893.
