Balvenie 12 Year Old American Oak Story #01, ex-Bourbon & Virgin American Oak Cask, 2019, 43%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The candied citrus and vanilla toffee give this a clear sweet edge, while ginger, cinnamon, and peppery oak add balance. That mix sounds appealing without leaning on one heavy note. A composed, approachable style.
