Description
The Balvenie 40 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a truly exceptional bottling from the legendary Balvenie Distillery, which is characterized by its decades-long tradition and commitment to the highest quality. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., this whisky presents itself in all its glory after being matured for an incredible 40 years in a combination of American oak casks and sherry-flamed oak barrels. This long maturation period allows the flavors to fully develop and create a whisky that is both exceptionally complex and finely balanced.
The Balvenie Distillery has a unique philosophy where the barley is still grown on site and the company uses a traditional malting floor method - a rarity in modern whisky production. Balvenie also employs its own team of coopers who maintain and repair the casks to ensure that each bottle reflects the best possible quality. This whisky is the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication to producing the finest single malt.
The Balvenie 40 Years Old is a rare treat that impresses with remarkable complexity, richness and a long lingering finish. It shows aromas of ripe fruit, honey, spices and an elegant oak note that harmonize perfectly with the softer, full-bodied notes that are only possible through decades of maturation.
