The Balvenie Stories 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky A Collection of Curious Casks: American Bourbon Barrel

The Balvenie Stories 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - A Collection of Curious Casks: American Bourbon Barrel is aged 14 years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, and is a testament to the unique power of a single barrel whisky. This limited edition release is velvety & sweet on the nose with candied orange peel, woody and earthy flavors — giving way to a long and lingering finish. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water to expand the flavor. The Balvenie Stories collection celebrates human tales of endeavor and explores unexpected twists, as told by its craftsmen at The Balvenie distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. The Balvenie distillery has been handcrafting whisky for more than 130 years, notably the most handcrafted of single malts. Nowhere else can you find a distillery that grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend to the casks alongside a coppersmith to maintain the stills. With a team committed to ultimate craftsmanship, their dedicated characters pour their soul and obsession into every single bottle. This demonstrates that, whilst it takes skill to make something great, it takes true heart to make it extraordinary. And of course, Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie who presides over the all-important maturation process. Tasting notes: Candied orange peel is grounded in woody, earthy flavours from beautifully roasted malt and deep vanilla oakiness.
