The Balvenie Scotch Single Malt 50 Year
The Balvenie Scotch Single Malt 50 Year
Showcasing Malt Master David Stewart MBE’s unique skill and knowledge in selecting and marrying significantly aged single malt Scotch whisky, the bottling is comprised of highly rare liquids aged 50 years or over that have been selected from American Oak casks in the oldest sections of The Balvenie’s stocks.
The Balvenie Fifty was matured in a European oak sherry hogshead, rarely used today in whisky making. Filled with a newly distilled spirit in 1962, over the following 50 years, while David Stewart perfected and practiced his craft, the spirit slowly matured into a truly exceptional outstanding single malt Scotch whisky. The particularly long maturation has created a wonderfully fragrant and floral whisky, velvety sweet with a beautifully balanced combination of sweet citrus notes and gentle hints of honey, spice, and oak.
