Carlyle 12-year-old Master Blender's Selection is a blended whisky with a stated age of 12 years. In general, blended whiskies are made by combining different whiskies to create a balanced, approachable style.
For a novice drinker, a 12-year age statement often suggests a smoother, more rounded character than very young whisky. This style is commonly chosen for easy sipping and consistent flavour rather than a highly intense or specialised profile.
