Balvenie 50 Year Old - Marriage 0614
Feast your eyes upon a 50 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the Balvenie Distillery! Incredibly old whisky like this is a rare sight indeed, with few distilleries having stocks that stretch back so many years. This particular expression was made with a marriage of seven casks, hand-selected by master distiller David Stewart MBE, resulting in just 148 bottles. Said bottles have been rather handsomely presented in wooden tubes made with 50 layers (48 made of wood, two of brass) to reflect how many years this whisky was matured.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Deep dark spices, rich fruit cake, lots of elegant oak notes, followed by sweeter aromas of dried fruits, raisins and sultanas ending on a ginger spiciness.
Palate
Rich and lush with some bitter chocolate. Intensely spicy, there is a maple syrup sweetness, hints of honey and well integrated oak tannins.
Finish
Rich and mouth coating with those sweet and oaky spiced notes.
