Unique taste profile: For the German market, The Balvenie presents a 12YO Montilla Wine Seasoned Cask - matured in a European Oak Butt, previously filled with sweet dessert wine from Montilla, Spain. This accentuates the sweet note of The Balvenie, balanced by a rich vanilla oak note and warming spice. Each bottling has been carefully hand-picked by Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie and comes from a single barrel.
Serving suggestion: The Balvenie can be enjoyed in many ways. Pure, on ice or with a few drops of water is the most widely used way to discover the aromas and character of whiskey in its purest form.
EXTENSION OF STORIES RANGE: At the heart of this new collection is Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie. Their passion for discovery, her dedication to the craft, as well as her will to drive innovation and explore the limits of whisky making, unite in "A Collection of Curious Casks". With a Master of Science in Distilling and a degree in Biology, Kelsey blends tradition with innovation and searches for exceptional whiskies at The Balvenie Warehouse - a true treasure of carefully stacked barrels patiently waiting for their bottling.
EXPRESSIVE TUBE: The Stories Range is brought to life through bespoke illustrations by British artist and printmaker Andy Lovell. Its gestural style captures the atmospheric light and atmosphere of the The Balvenie Distillery. The Tubes feature Lovell's eleventh unique artwork for the collection depicting Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie pulling a sample in the iconic Warehouse 24. The texture and feel of Andy's work underline the importance of human creativity in the production of The Balvenie.
A special moment of enjoyment with the Balvenie: an extraordinary drink for parties, a cosy get-together after dinner or a high-quality gift for any occasion.
