ANECDOTE

Childhood Pocket Knife Accident

David Niles cut his thumb with a pocket knife when he was a child, which led to it being taken away before even starting Cub Scouts.
This story illustrates the early lessons and risks involved in learning to responsibly handle sharp objects.

INSIGHT

Prudence and Justice in Conscience

Conscience involves applying moral knowledge to specific situations with prudence and justice playing distinct roles.
Justice relates to moral rightness, while prudence involves practical right timing and action beyond morality alone.

ADVICE

Teach Principles and Allow Freedom

Teach your children moral principles and natural law as fundamentals for conscience formation.
Provide them freedom to experience decisions and learn through consequences while guiding without over-intervening.

About our drink:

Released in 2013, Balvenie's Single Barrel First Fill was matured in first-fill bourbon casks for at least 12 years before bottling. These are limited edition bottlings, with each bottle being one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask. Each is also hand-numbered and labelled with the cask reference number. A deliciously creamy, vanilla-rich whisky from Balvenie.

Nose: Toasted, sweet nose with all kinds of charred oak and spice. Hints of maple syrup and allspice, a little vanilla and sweet coffee.

Palate: A complex, thick palate with allspice and toffee apples. Cooked fruit and baking spices, hints of sponge cake and creamy caramel.

Finish: Long finish with lingering sweetness and spice.

Overall: An intense whisky with lots of influence from the cask. Great value for money too.
