As autumn paints the world in golden hues, it’s the perfect time to indulge in the rich, handcrafted flavors of The Balvenie single malts. Whether you prefer your whisky neat or as a cocktail, The Balvenie’s traditionally crafted single malts are the ultimate companions for those cozy fall evenings.

Jamie Johnson, The Balvenie’s Canadian National Brand Ambassador, says it best: “Each sip of The Balvenie tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and character. It’s the perfect single malt scotch to enjoy neat, paired with light fare, or in a cocktail this fall season.”

Here are three delicious ways to enjoy The Balvenie as the leaves turn and the nights grow longer:

1. The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old – The Speyside Tonic

Start your evening with the sophisticated Speyside Tonic. This cocktail blends the honeyed notes of The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old with the nuttiness of Fino sherry, the fruity punch of Calvados, and the dryness of tonic. It’s the perfect autumn aperitif!

Ingredients:

  • 35ml The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old
  • 30ml Fino Sherry
  • 5ml Calvados
  • 100ml Tonic

Directions: Build in a chilled glass with ice. Stir gently and garnish with Nocellara olives for that extra touch of elegance.

2. The Balvenie Sweet Toast of American Oak – Paired with Oolong Tea

Tea and whisky, a match made in autumn heaven! Pair the Balvenie Sweet Toast of American Oak with a cozy cup of Oolong tea to complement its notes of candied orange peel, vanilla toffee, and butterscotch. This pairing highlights the warm spiciness of the whisky, making it the ultimate fireside sip.

3. The Balvenie Week of Peat 14 – Paired with Blue Cheese & Charcuterie

For a simple, indulgent experience, savor The Balvenie Week of Peat neat. This lightly peated whisky pairs beautifully with a charcuterie board featuring blue cheese, walnuts, and cured meats.
