Drawing from the rarest of casks, which have been meticulously matured in both Traditional American and European Oak within The Balvenie's storied warehouses, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE orchestrates a bold and extraordinary union of character.
The result is a whisky that is rich and sophisticated, marked by an intense honeyed oak presence and opulent fruit notes that coalesce into a complex tapestry of sweetness and spice. As it unfolds, warm hints of ginger and vibrant citrus come to the fore, adding depth to its remarkable profile.
This exceptional expression is bottled at cask strength, a testament to its uncompromising quality and enduring legacy.
