The Balvenie Fifty is an expression of exceptional quality that typifies the skill and knowledge needed to marry significantly aged single malt Scotch whisky. Comprised of highly rare liquid sourced from four American Oak casks aged 50 years or over, this Whisky is beautifully designed in a sleek, glass decanter representing the classic Balvenie bottle shape (which itself mirrors the silhouette of the copper stills at the distillery). The decanters have been hand-blown from 100% lead-free crystal. The bottle is presented in a beautiful wooden tube comprised of 50 layers (48 of walnut and two of brass). The presentation also includes an etched brass certificate and bottle glorifier, inscribed with the tasting notes of each constituent cask and the taste, palette, and finish of the final marriage.
"The Balvenie Fifty: Marriage 0962 demonstrates the incredible craftmanship and skill of The Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE,” comments Jamie Johnson, The Balvenie Brand Ambassador, Canada. We are thrilled to be working with JAK’S to bring this incredibly rare bottle to the Canadian market.”
A marriage of whisky of this age is rare as liquid given 50 years or more to express itself can develop flavours that have extreme variances of taste, strength and depth that make the task complex. Stewart selected four casks into an exquisite whole that combines and enhances their many delicate notes. The final liquid, bottled at 41.6% ABV, combines malt and oak with brown sugar, toffee and ground ginger on the nose, followed by further oaky notes, maple syrup, tangy citrus and classic honeyed Balvenie sweetness to taste. The finish is long and lingering, with dried fruits and vanilla oaky spice notes.
