Balvenie, Single Malt The 1931 Collection - Home Malted Barley Finished In Oak Sherry Casks 12YO, Speyside

The Balvenie distillery, founded in 1892 by William Grant, operates in the heart of Dufftown, Speyside, where it maintains the rare tradition of an on-site malting floor. This 12-year-old expression is made from 100% home-malted barley, reflecting the distillery’s commitment to growing and processing its own grain on the adjacent Mains of Balvenie farm. In the glass, the whisky presents notes of warm biscuit, honeyed toffee, and delicate ginger, supported by a velvety, rounded texture from its time in American oak and a finishing period in European oak sherry butts. This bottling offers a clear, direct connection to the distillery's historic production methods, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a well-balanced, spirit-led whisky ready to enjoy.
