Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Batch #4

Balvenie Signature 12 year old replaced the fondly-remembered Founders Reserve 10 year old as the staple in the distillery's range.

From The Balvenie website:

The Balvenie Signature Aged 12 Years is a classic marriage of The Balvenie matured in the three most traditional cask types, first fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry. Produced in small, numbered batches, each cask used is hand selected by Malt Master David Stewart to ensure he achieves Signature’s unique character of honey, spice and subtle oak and each batch is allowed time to harmonise in a traditional marrying tun. David Stewart crafted The Balvenie Signature to mark his 45th year in the whisky industry.
