Description

nspired by the desire to create a fruitier and sweeter iteration of Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie embarked on a novel experiment. She introduced Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky and subjected them to a deep toasting process at The Balvenie Cooperage. These barrels were then filled with Balvenie whisky previously aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The outcome is a remarkably intricate whisky brimming with notes of candied fruit, coconut, and delicate vanilla.

The Balvenie Distillery is built upon the narratives passed down through generations of craftsmen to their successors. The Balvenie Stories range, featuring three distinct whiskies, serves as a testament to these tales of character, dedication, and artistry.

Each whisky crafted by The Balvenie encapsulates a human story, evolving alongside its protagonists and unfolding unforeseen dimensions over years of maturation. It's a celebration of the enduring craft and tradition that defines The Balvenie.

Tasting Note by Balvenie:
Nose: Lusciously malty with some sweet fudge, followed by citrusy and oak vanilla aromas with layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon.
Palate: Candied orange and lemon peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers of blossom honey, some melted brown sugar and oak spices at the end.
Finish: Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices.

    Balvenie Distillery: Masterful Craftsmanship and Time-Honored Tradition

    Balvenie Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Speyside region of Scotland, is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to time-honored tradition in the production of single malt Scotch whisky. With a history dating back to 1892, Balvenie is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that still grows its own barley, malts its own grain, and employs traditional floor malting techniques. This meticulous attention to detail and hands-on approach is evident in the distillery's whiskies, which are known for their complexity, depth of flavor, and exceptional quality. Balvenie whiskies exhibit a rich array of characteristics, from honeyed sweetness and fruit notes to delicate spices and hints of oak, each expression reflecting the artistry and expertise passed down through generations.

    The Unique Artistry of Balvenie Distillery

    Balvenie Distillery stands out for its unwavering commitment to preserving traditional whisky-making methods and showcasing the artistry of its craftsmen. What makes Balvenie truly unique is its dedication to the Five Rare Crafts, which include growing barley, traditional floor malting, copper pot distillation, cooperage (barrel-making), and maturation in its onsite warehouses. The distillery's cooperage, where skilled coopers handcraft and repair barrels, is a rare sight in the industry and allows for precise control over the maturation process. Balvenie's Malt Master carefully selects and marries casks to create unique expressions that exemplify the distillery's character. This hands-on approach, combined with an emphasis on traditional methods and craftsmanship, results in whiskies that possess remarkable depth, character, and a true sense of heritage. Balvenie Distillery's dedication to preserving the past while creating whiskies of unparalleled quality makes it a revered name among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
