Balvenie 40 Year Old Rare Marriages | 1st Edition 2022 Release

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%

The Balvenie 40-year-old Rare Marriages is the crown jewel in Balvenie's Rare Marriages series, which kicked off in 2021 with the release of Balvenie 25-year-old.

Balvenie 40-year-old Rare Marriages is once again the product of Master Blender David Stewart's peerless skill and artistry in the tun room, with a magic combination of some of the distillery's oldest and rarest traditional American and European oak casks initially yielding just 150 bottles when first released in 2022 at 46%.

This is certain to be a symphony of balance, depth and flavour intensity.
