Balvenie 23 Years Old 1993
A different chapter will be released annually between 2015 and 2019, each of them reflecting a different chapter in the accompanying book, written by Balvenie global brand ambassador Dr Sam Simmons.
The theme of Chapter Three is 'Secrets of the Stock Model'. Chapters Four & Five will focus respectively on: 'Expecting the Unexpected' and 'Malt Master's Indulgence'. Created using five casks which will exemplify David's skill in managing a complex stock system: a science, an art and a craft.
Filled on the 6th December 1993 and aged for an incredible 23 years until being bottled on the 19th June 2017 from a single cask. This release comes in a heavyweight frame which is made from cherry wood. A unique fruitwood with a smooth straight grain pattern.
One of the Dufftown distilleries, or the one next door to Glenfiddich. Balvenie has been forever in the ownership of William Grant & Sons. The distillery was established in 1892 and takes its name from a nearby castle, which was the original name for the town. Compared to Glenfiddich and Kininvie, Balvenie focuses more on the craft aspect of distillery with its branding. A small percentage of its malt is produced on a traditional malting floor and it retains a cooperage. In relative terms, the distillery has only just opened its doors for tours as it continues to grow in popularity. Assisted by 9 distinctive stills and inventive cask maturation, finding favour with many whisky drinkers. So much so, that Ailsa Bay modelled its stills on Balvenie’s, aiming to take up some demand for blends and let the distillery concentrate on expanding the Balvenie range.
