THE BALVENIE
Matured 40 YEARS
The Balvenie 40 Year Old is an uncommon and particularly fine single malt for which Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE chooses just excellent barrels that were set down more than 40 years back. By wedding The Balvenie gradually, matured in conventional oak whisky barrels with that matured in European oak sherry containers, David makes a rich, smooth matured whisky with uncommon profundity and unpredictability. ‘Thirty’ is packaged at 48.5% ABV to catch all the mark attributes of The Balvenie.
To create Batch One of only 150 bottles of The Balvenie Forty, Malt Master David Stewart has married together small amounts of The Balvenie matured in 4 refill hogsheads and 3 sherry butts that have lain in our warehouses for at least forty years.
