• A RANGE OF THREE DISTINCT WHISKIES: The Balvenie 25 is the youngest and most elegant expression within the Rare Marriages Range. Aged for twenty-five years, The Balvenie Twenty-Five boasts extraordinary depth and perfect balance for a beautifully fruity whisky.
• A FLAWLESS WHISKY MARRIAGE: Designed by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, individual European and American casks are brought together to craft an incredibly intricate and balanced expression of The Balvenie. • RICH, MATURED AND HONEYED: On the surface you will distinctively notice The Balvenie’s signature flavours; runny honey with an underlying rich oakiness. But those who enquire further, who give the whisky time, let the flavours unfold into multiple layers of fresh fruit, marshmallow and cinnamon.
• A ONE-OF-A-KIND WHISKY: The Balvenie Twenty-Five is made using a small selection of our rarest casks that have stood the test of time. Each cask is hand-chosen for its exceptional quality and the ability to infuse the most unique and individual flavours.
• BOLD AND PRESTIGIOUS: An opportunity to take home and enjoy some of the rarest and oldest whiskies from The Balvenie warehouses. Savour the rich and luxurious world of The Balvenie in every sip.
• THE BALVENIE WAY: Our whisky making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and we are the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site.
