Designed by David Stewart MBE, The Balvenie Rare Marriages Range is a collection of three distinct whiskies that showcase extraordinary layers of depth and complexity. In a flawless marriage, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE brings together individual casks to craft an incredibly intricate and balanced. All a selection of American and European Oak casks. David uses a traditional oak tun housed in the famous Warehouse 29 to bring the casks together and ensure they have space to develop flavour, knitting together as if they were never individual casks, exemplifying the art and skill of single malt TUN marriages. Extraordinary depth; the perfect balance to create the most layered expression. A whisky of exceptional character, Twenty-Five hints at the sought-after Balvenie flavours - bold vanilla oak, crystallised ginger and sweet runny honey.

Balvenie

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.
