It’s remarkable, but Balvenie is the only distillery that still dedicates itself to the Rare Crafts – growing their own barley, malting it, having an onsite coppersmith, maintaining their own cooperage, and benefiting from the longevity of their renowned Malt Master, David C. Stewart. They value age, continuity, and abiding, fruitful friendships.
This release, part of their range called ‘A Collection of Curious Casks,’ celebrates the friendship and experience of Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie and Warehouse and Samples Coordinator George Paterson. Their close working relationship has helped them select ‘rare,’ ‘weird and wonderful outliers’ – whiskies that ‘the world would not usually encounter.’ ‘It celebrates their collaboration and keen instincts for selecting casks with rare potential, showcasing whiskies that are unique and extraordinary.’
The American Bourbon Barrel 14 Years Old is a single-cask Speyside single malt, aged in a unique bourbon barrel.
It has notes of toffee, oak, citrus, honey, candied orange peel, roasted malt, and vanilla.
It comes at a strength of 47.8% ABV and is non-chill filtered.
This is a velvety, rich whisky with a satisfying sweetness.
