- Description
- Balvenie's 25-year-old single cask expression from November 1974 showcases the distillery's refined Speyside character after a quarter-century of maturation in ex-bourbon oak. The extended aging develops honeyed complexity with subtle spice and orchard fruit balanced by gentle oak influence. Bottled at 46.9% ABV from a single cask, this is a rare opportunity to experience Balvenie's house style at full maturity, suited to contemplative sipping or as a centerpiece for serious collectors.
