Balvenie 19 Years Old A Revelation of Cask and Character Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

The distillery says - "This is a story of expertise, intuition, and the craft of Coopering - as old as whisky itself. This particular sherry Oak maturation is the result of years of curiosity and learning. The use of casks in whisky was supposedly an accidental revelation. If you believe the folklore, hundreds of years ago, Oak casks were used to transport whisky across the British Isles. By the time it reached its destination, the whisky would have taken on some of the depth and richness of whatever liquid these casks once held. And so, storage in certain casks became a conscious rather than circumstantial choice. Over time, the use of Oak casks became instrumental in the quality and final flavour of the whisky. Our Head Cooper Ian McDonald knows this all too well, having worked with his team and his tools for over 50 years. Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie describes this unique 19-year-old Balvenie as β€œthe perfect way to showcase the journey of our Coopers, representing Ian’s work with Spanish bodegas. Β
