- Description
- An independent bottling of Balvenie from the 1980s, aged six years and carrying the curious vintage marketing claim of being made 'Specially for Ladies'—a relic of mid-century spirits marketing. At 43%, this young whisky offers a window into Balvenie's approachable, fruity character before extended wood influence. Of interest primarily to collectors of period pieces and Balvenie completists.
