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.

Glenmorangie Cognac Cask 13 Year Old
This oaky and fruity small-batch release results from one of Dr. Bill's rare experiments with Cognac casks, elegantly winding notes of spice and leather with Glenmorangie's wondrous fruit flavours. Dr. Bill had long imagined finishing Glenmorangie in Cognac casks for a delicious marriage of flavours. While his early experiments were unsuccessful, this 13 year old Glenmorangie Cognac Cask Finish finally brings his dream alive.

Nose: Apple tart and toffee are delectably deepened by a subtle note of forest floor. Then Glenmorangie's fruity bursts of baked apples, oranges and pears fill the air. A splash of water releases scents of butter candy, more sweet pastry and a touch of beeswax, delicately lightened by mint.
Palate: Sweet and almost sparkling, like toffee apples and baked pears scattered with almonds and slices of mandarin orange. That fruitiness is deliciously threaded with clove, star anise and soft hints of leather.
Finish: Long, elegant and gently mentholic.
