- Description
- An exceptionally rare Balmenach from 1971, aged 30 years and bottled by Cadenhead's more than a decade ago—a window into Speyside character from a bygone distillery era. At this age and rarity, the whisky holds historical significance alongside whatever complexity three decades have wrought.
