Exquisite Single-Malt Scotch Pairings

The Balvenie Enhances Summer Celebrations with Class

— July 22, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Balvenie is inviting Canadians to enhance their summer experience with a selection of single-malt scotch pairings. The brand calls attention to three of its highly sought-after expressions — the Balvenie DoubleWood 12-Year-Old, the Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old, and the Sweet Toast of American Oak. Each whisky is crafted with distinct notes and characteristics, providing a range of flavors that complement summer dishes.

The DoubleWood 12 Year Old is noted for its rich, mellow flavors and hints of honey, vanilla, and sherry. As a pre-meal aperitif, this expression goes perfectly with handcrafted cheese and charcuterie board. The Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old, on the other hand, features sweet, creamy toffee and fruity notes that go well with prosciutto and melon. Finally, the Sweet Toast of American Oak presents a honeyed profile that pairs well with tapas and oysters.

The Balvenie's expert food and single-malt scotch pairings highlight the brand's expertise, the versatility of its spirits, and its focus on traditional craftsmanship.
