The beloved Balvenie Scotch distillery is revealing Chapter 9 in their Stories Collection, which tells the tales of the distillery's history - this time, A Revelation of Cask and Character, a 19 Year Old Scotch that tells the story of The Balvenie's Coopers and their quest to unlock the hidden potential of each cask.
"The Balvenie Distillery is built on the stories that are told from each generation of craftspeople to the next. They're our lifeblood. It is how we pass on what we know, how we process experiences, and how we create new ideas. The Balvenie Stories range documents these tales of true character."
"A desire to explore the impact of different casks on our whisky has led Ian McDonald on many adventures over the years - the wonders of wood providing a constant source of exploration and inspiration. This is the story of one particular whisky's 19 year journey in European sherry oak casks, resulting in a honey smooth expression, balanced by layers of spice and ripe fruit."
The new expression, a 19 year expression aged in European sherry oak casks to create "a honey smooth expression, balanced by layers of spice and ripe fruit", is bottled at 47.5% ABV.
