This is one of five highly collectible bottlings that make up the first chapter of the Balvenie DCS Compendium - in fact, this is the oldest whisky in Chapter One; a 46 year old single malt Scotch whisky, set aside to age in refill American oak hogshead #7293 on the 11th of June 1968! The Balvenie DCS Compendium is a collection of 25 whiskies curated by the legendary Balvenie Malt Master, David C. Stewart. Each chapter highlights a different aspect of the whisky - Chapter One's theme is 'Distillery Style', and it looks at the sweet, honeyed character of Balvenie's whisky.
Just 68 bottles of this 46 year old 1968 Balvenie have been produced as part of this incredible collection.
Malt and oak mingle with brown sugar, vanilla toffee, candied orange, cinnamon and ginger.
Velvety, with blossom honey, oak vanilla, a touch of citrus and low-key spiciness.
Gentle, lingering waves of vanilla and oak spices.

It's alright I guess...
Much like the gentleman before me. However, I don't drink wine; I drink this. Exclusively. For 46 years straight.
I like my wine like I like my women, 46 years matured.
