2 x Balvenie 50

Den 28. maj 1963, et år efter at Malt Master David Stewart startede hos Balvenie blev to European oak hogsheads fyldt med new make fra Balvenie.

Efter 50 år på Cask 4567 er der kommet en single malt ud af det med en "deep reddish hue and exceptionally full taste, characterised by dark fruits and spice. It’s a wonderfully complex and elegant single malt"

Cask 4567 har en søster, nemlig Cask 4570, der også er et European oak hogsheads og har ligget i det samme warehouse i 50 år. Til trods for lighederne, så er de meget forskellige, denne her har disse noter "this lovely, complex expression has a distinctly golden hue and and a taste characterised by toffee sweetness, honey and vanilla oak."
