Thoughts 💭 :  This Balvenie expression enjoys a luxurious five-year finish in new Spanish oak casks following its initial maturation in traditional barrels. The result is a whisky with a rich mouthfeel, featuring layers of chocolate, fruit, treacle, and subtle bitter notes, all delicately balanced with a pleasing level of spice.

As part of The Balvenie Stories series, this unique expression is available only at the Balvenie Distillery. A visit to this renowned distillery is your chance to secure a bottle of this exceptional release.

So do you think you’ll pay a visit to get your hands on this?
