- Description
- Balvenie's 1990s Founder's Reserve at ten years old showcases the distillery's signature honeyed, fruity character in an unusually elegant bottle format borrowed from Cognac design. The whisky itself balances sweet orchard fruit and vanilla from ex-bourbon casks with the creamy malt richness Balvenie is known for. A refined expression from an era when Speyside whisky prioritized finesse over intensity.
