Balmenach 12 Year Old2011 Vintage

Nestled in Cromdale, a notable crossing on the upper expanses of the River Spey, lies the Balmenach Distillery. This establishment stands out as one of the most scarcely bottled under the esteemed Berry Bros. & Rudd label. Since receiving its official licensing in 1824, just a few short months after the inaugural legal license to distil was issued in Scotland, only a minuscule number of casks have been chosen from this distillery, underscoring its rarity and distinctive place within the whisky production legacy. This release, fully matured in a hogshead, boasts an authentic, undiluted experience by presenting it in its natural color and without chill filtration. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 54.4% ABV, it ensures that the whisky's rich, intrinsic flavors and aromas, developed meticulously throughout the maturation process, are delivered with intensity and integrity to every sip.
