Staff Pick Notes

Alexander III was King of Scots from 1249 to his death in 1286. Balvenie's King Alexander III is the kings of Scotch whisky, right now. Yes, there are tasting notes galore; chocolate and nuts, both flesh and shells, toffee, touches of spiced raisin and vanilla. I could go on and on. But it's that texture.

It's good to be king.
