Balvenie 40 Year Old Description
Malt master David Stewart has skilfully married together small amounts of the Balvenie matured in 4 refill hogsheads and 3 sherry butts. These have quietly matured for at least 40 years. Different cask types impart different characteristics, bringing together a perfect harmony of fruit, spice, sweetness, citrus and oak to create a Balvenie of the very highest order. Bottle shown is from Batch 7, and is for illustration purposes only.
