Producer’s tasting notes.
Long maturation in traditional oak casks lends familiar oak, honey and vanilla notes to the Balvenie while the final period spent in Madeira wine casks adds layers of rich spice.

Bottling Notes
This rare limited-edition single malt was aged entirely in traditional oak whisky casks for more than twenty years before been reassigned for a further cycle of maturation in casks formally used in the production of Portuguese, fortified Madeira wine. It was sampled regularly by the Balvenie Malt Master- David Stewart (who this year celebrated a remarkable 53rd year in the business) to ensure that just the right amount of character is imparted by the Madeira casks.
Feel free to leave a review if you’ve sampled this fine expression. We’d love to hear from you.
