This Balvenie expression is crafted from a skillful marriage of seven casks, each over 50 years in age with varying tastes and strengths, carefully chosen by master distiller David Stewart MBE. The result is a limited release of just 148 bottles, each beautifully presented in a wooden tube made with 50 layers – 48 of wood and two of brass, representing the whisky’s remarkable half-century journey.
