Balvenie 10 Year Old Founder's Reserve Whisky

This was the first bottle of Malt I purchased in 1989 on a scuba diving trip to the Isle of Bute. The bottle was an unusual shape with an off centred spout. I felt really lucky to choose such a quality dram first time out. I was very disappointed when it was discontinued and now it's moved well out of my price bracket. The 12 yo DW took its place for a while but as someone has already said that has now become very inconsistent.

A favourite for the past 20 years. One of the best 10 year old whiskies ever. Getting ever more difficult and expensive to get hold of. If you have not tried it yet, don't miss out.

I have 2 Bottles of Balvenie Founders Reserve 10 year old .I dont know which one to drink.lol

Last week I was stranded at home during the most epic flood in history. On Sunday 3 masked men broke into my house and then escaped in a red canoe (I'm in Canada). The next day, a neighbour in a green canoe came up to my house with a bottle of Balvenie. I assumed it the 12yo Doublewood and didn't pay much attention, but gladly drank the dram offered. Wow! The nose. The mouth feel. The taste!

Knowing how inconsistent the 12yoDW has been lately, I asked how long ago he bought the bottle. He thought probably 15 years. I figured that's why it was sooooo good, but then he turned the label around to reveal that it was indeed the 'Founder's Reserve - 10yo'

My God. We just went through a massive disaster of a flood, but I'm almost praying for rain next year if it means my neighbour will bring that bottle back for another go! So beautiful.

My absolute favorite

Amazing

It was this whisky that got me hooked into the single malt universe...It's a shame that it was discontinued, and as others have said - it's better than the 12 yr DBL Wood.

One of the stupidest things of The Balvenie was to stop the production of this wonderful piece of craftmanship.

I much prefer the 10 year old to the Oakwood 12. Has been my favourite Mmalt.

I got a bottle in Christmas gift. How much can it be Worth? Sorry for misspelling.
