Tasting Notes

The Balvenie 12 Year Sweet Toast of American Oak is a Speyside single malt crafted with traditional methods and finished in double-toasted virgin American oak casks. The nose opens with aromas of honey, vanilla, and orchard fruits wrapped in gentle oak spice. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, offering flavors of toffee, candied orange peel, and creamy vanilla balanced by subtle baking spices and light malt sweetness. The toasted oak finish adds warmth and depth, leading into a medium-long finale of honeyed malt, oak, and citrus.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked salmon, roasted almonds, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements herb-crusted chicken, seared scallops, or roasted pork tenderloin. In the cheese course, creamy brie, manchego, or cheddar balance its sweetness and spice. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with crème brûlée, apple tart, or white chocolate mousse.
