The Balvenie 30 Year Old
The Balvenie 30 Year Old is a rare and especially fine single malt for which Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE selects only exceptional casks that were laid down over 30 years ago. By marrying The Balvenie slowly, aged in traditional oak whisky casks with that aged in European oak sherry casks, David creates a rich, mellow aged whisky with unusual depth and complexity. 'Thirty' is bottled at 47.3% ABV to capture all the signature characteristics of The Balvenie.

The Macallan Reflexion
This exceptional single malt draws its color and flavor from maturation in smaller hogshead casks, allowing a greater surface area of wood to interact with the whisky to deliver an intricate character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks. The depth of colour and complex flavour of Reflexion is derived from the use of first-fill casks, carefully selected for this distinctive expression to accentuate its aromas and flavors. Bold and full bodied, Reflexion is a celebration of floral and vanilla notes, punctuated with fresh apples and apricots.

Nose: Fresh zest of orange and citrus fruits. A slight waxy note fades to fresh green apples. Robust notes of chocolate, thick fudge, boiled sweets, aniseed and caramel toffees with subtle white chocolate truffles. Fresh bananas and sweet oak arrives last.
Palate: Initial light citrus zest with new oak gives way to the succulent sweetness of lemon and orange. Raisin, sultana and apple, with a hint of cinnamon and ginger, are subtle.
Finish: Boiled sweets add balance to a glimpse of toasted oak to give a medium and soft finish.
