- Description
- Balvenie's 25-year-old single malt, distilled in November 1974 and aged in a single cask until October 2000, represents a snapshot of the distillery's character from a specific moment in time. A quarter-century in refill oak has developed the Speyside distillery's naturally fruity, honeyed profile into something with considerable depth and oak integration. From a private collection and exceedingly rare, this bottle suits serious collectors and those seeking mature Balvenie of considerable provenance.
