Balvenie – Rare Marriages – Speyside Single Malt 40 year old Whisky

Using some of the rarest casks in The Balvenie warehouses, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE has created a bold marriage of extraordinary character. Carefully matured in Traditional American and European Oak for an incredible 40 years, before being bottled at cask strength, this Single Malt is rich and refined; intense honeyed oak and rich fruit create a complex layer of sweetness and spice; then warm notes of ginger and citrus are revealed.

Nose: Honey and orange marmalade notes mingle with a creamy fruitiness.

Taste: Orange blossom, candied ginger and a honeyed sweetness, followed by oak, mouth-coating vanilla notes and a delicate, sherried fruitiness.

Finish: Warm and elegant with a honeyed, citrus richness.
