This is the story of the spectacular things that could happen when an ancient technique meets fresh new ideas.
At a get-together with the team, a seed of an idea took root to produce an even fruitier, sweeter-tasting Balvenie. Virgin Oak barrels were imported from Louisville, Kentucky and after deep toasting at The Balvenie Cooperage, they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and matured for 12 years.
A magical combination of nature, chemistry ingenuity, and a happy ending to our story.
