Balvenie The DCS Compendium Chapter Five - The Complete Set 350cl Whisky

Balvenie's DCS Compendium series, honouring malt master David C. Stewart MBE, has arrived at its fifth chapter. The title of this one is Malt Master's Indulgence, so we're sure you can figure out what's going on here. Stewart has picked out five casks that he knew were destined for greatness, and the result is a handsome collection of five astonishing whiskies from four different decades, all presented in a wooden presentation frame and a case. Worthy of many dazzled stares, this.
