Balvenie 40 Year Old Rare Marriages Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterclass in craftsmanship and patience, crafted by the legendary Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. This exceptional whisky is the result of marrying some of the rarest casks, meticulously matured in Traditional American and European oak warehouses, delivering a bold and extraordinary character that stands apart.
Rich and refined, this 40-year-old expression offers an intense bouquet of honeyed oak intertwined with luscious fruit notes, creating a complex harmony of sweetness and spice. As it unfolds, warm hints of ginger and vibrant citrus emerge, adding depth and intrigue to every sip. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 46%, it preserves the whisky’s full intensity and authenticity.

The marriage of American oak and European oak cask malts creates a stunning balance, making this rare and superbly aged single malt a true collector’s gem.
