William Grant founded Balvenie distillery in 1892 using the 18th century mansion known as Balvenie New House. It is built just below Glenfiddich sharing it's Robbie Dhu springs water source. The distillery still uses it's own floor maltings and locally sourced peat.

This Balvenie has been aged for 14 years in traditional casks and then spent a period of time in Caribbean rum casks, to give a rather fruity and vanilla flavour to the whisky.

Cask Type: Traditional oak, with finishing in Caribbean rum casks

43% ABV / 5cl x 5

43% ABV / 5cl x 5
