The Balvenie 27 Year Old - A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores
Balvenie
Tasting Notes
The Balvenie 27 Year Old - A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores is a true gem that celebrates the camaraderie between passionate spirit makers. This single malt whisky spent an impressive 27 years maturing, with the final seven years spent luxuriating in exquisite ex-Caroni rum casks. These rare casks, sourced from the now-closed Trinidadian distillery, found their way to The Balvenie thanks to a serendipitous meeting between the distillery's head distiller, David Stewart, and John Barrett of renowned rum bottler Bristol Spirits. The result is a magnificent whisky that harmoniously blends the rich, fruity notes of Balvenie's spirit with the warm, tropical influences imparted by the Caroni rum casks. A true testament to the magic that can arise from collaboration and shared passion.
