The Balvenie 40 Year Old Rare Marriages Series Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A Timeless Masterpiece

The Balvenie 40 Year Old Rare Marriages is a single malt Scotch that’s as rare as a unicorn sighting. Crafted by the legendary David C. Stewart MBE, this whisky is a blend of spirits aged in American oak and European oak sherry casks for four decades. With a natural deep golden hue, it boasts a nose of honey, vanilla, and dried fruits, a palate rich with honey, vanilla fudge, and spices, and a finish that lingers like a good story. It’s a testament to patience and artistry, bottled at 46% ABV.

The Balvenie has a very wide range of single malt offerings that span the categories of ages and wood finishes. All of them are "sweet" Whiskies in the Speyside tradition.

They tend to be rich and flavor-dense with light fruit notes of apple, pear, and lemon zest. There is also the pronounced taste and aroma of fresh vanilla bean that just jumps right out at you. You will not even find a hint of smoke beacsue that's just not the way that they roll at The Balvenie. The finish tends to be medium-long with a lingering "carrot-spice-cake" note that stays with you.
