This is the story of a rare red rose that would go on to inspire not one, but two iconic Balvenie whiskies.
The first Balvenie Rose was a liquid of such intriguing colour and taste that it would become the talk of Dufftown for many years to come. Its story, and the one of its successor, The Second Red Rose, began many centuries ago in a castle high on a Speyside hill….
On the nose there is intense ripe fruits, combined wiht robust earthy tones, reveal the mouth-watering fragrance of fresh mango and subtle oak.
An initial burst of blackberry and ripe peach sweetness envelop the palate. Followed by flavours of vibrant oak and cracked black pepper, leaving a gentle woody spice.
The finish is long with a lingering oakiness.
