New for 2013, this Single Barrel expression from The Balvenie has been aged for 12 years in a first fill Bourbon cask of a single distillation.
David Stewart, the Scotch industry’s longest serving Malt Master celebrated 50 years at the distillery on September 4th. To mark the occasion, he has crafted a truly exceptional single malt whisky from a cask that was filled in 1962 - the year he started.
The Balvenie Fifty was matured in a European oak sherry hogshead, rarely used today in whisky making. Filled with 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.
