Balvenie 12 Year Old Montilla Wine Seasoned Cask Speyside Malt Whisky 47.3%

Balvenie 12 Year Old Montilla Cask is a limited edition Speyside single malt with 47.3% ABV, matured in casks seasoned with sweet Montilla wine – a Spanish counterpart to sherry – adding warmth, fruit, and spice to Balvenie’s classic honeyed profile.

This release is part of Balvenie’s A Collection of Curious Casks, where the distillery explores different types of cask maturation. Selected by malt master Kelsey McKechnie, the whisky is aged for 12 years in European oak casks previously filled with Montilla wine from Andalusia. The result is a soft and complex whisky with a clear vinous character and elevated strength that enhances its flavor nuances.

The nose is fresh and delicate with notes of floral honey, light sugary tones, and gently toasted oak. The palate opens with sweet caramel, followed by rich vanilla, dried apricots, and warm spices. The finish is refreshing and balanced, with fruit and wood in elegant harmony.

Balvenie Montilla Cask 12 Year Old is non-peated and bottled at 47.3%, offering extra structure and depth. It suits both collectors and curious whisky enthusiasts looking to experience a new interpretation of Balvenie’s classic style with a Spanish twist.
