The Balvenie 40 Year Old
To create The Balvenie 40 Year Old, Malt Master David Stewart MBE skilfully marries together small amounts of our most mature single malts. The aged whisky consists of The Balvenie matured in traditional oak casks and European oak sherry butts that have lain in our warehouses for at least 40 years. The Balvenie Aged 40 Years is bottled at 48.5% ABV to capture all the signature characteristics of The Balvenie.

Glenallachie 21 Year Old Cask Strength
Our Master Distiller, Billy Walker, is passionate about wood management, closely monitoring the development of the whisky until he finds the perfect balance of distillery and cask influence. From amongst the 50,000 casks maturing across our 16 warehouses, Billy hand-selected five Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Sherry Puncheons for this bottling. With a very limited release of only 1,600 bottles available worldwide, The GlenAllachie 21 years old is offered at cask strength, natural colour and non-chill filtered, meaning this annual small batch release showcases GlenAllachie in its purest form.
