Distillery Info
Balvenie stays true to their Five Rare Crafts, making whisky the way they always have. Their craftsmen have an intimate understanding of their materials and a desire to make the very best whisky possible. The process is a combination of expertise, skill and ambition which gives The Balvenie its unique character.
The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill is a 12 year old single malt whisky, aged in a first fill, ex-bourbon cask. Almost all Scotch whisky is matured in casks previously used by Bourbon distillers. When brought to Scotland and used for the very first time they are known as ‘First Fill’.
The Balvenie Malt Master samples the aged whisky, cask by cask and selects only those characterised by sweetness and subtle vanilla oak to be bottled as The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill.
A series of “limited editions” – Each bottle is one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask and carries the number of the cask in which it matured.
