Balvenie 19 Years Old A Revelation of Cask & Character 70cl 47.5°
A Revelation of Cask and Character was created as a tribute to the skills and hard work of the coopers who work at the Speyside distillery (some, such as head cooper Ian McDonald, have been applying their talents to this ancient art for decades!)
Aged for 19 years exclusively in Oloroso Sherry casks, this Balvenie was born of exchanges between Scottish coopers and Spanish bodegas, under the expert eye of Kelsey McKennie, Malt Master of The Balvenie.

The Balvenie is a small distillery nestled in the Scottish Highlands, at the heart of the land of whisky: Speyside.
The Balvenie is a real museum, as nothing changed much since its establishment in 1892. Its name derives from the Balvenie castle (13th century), located a few hundred yards away. Since 1892, it has been family-owned and family-run. This independence allows the distillery to focus exclusively on the production of traditional craft Single Malts. The name “Balvenie” is a mystery in itself. If “Bal” means house or farm in Gaelic, the meaning of “Venie” has been lost. The Balvenie is proud to be one of the last four distilleries of the Highlands to use a traditional malting area. Four maltmen turn the malt three times a day, seven days a week, to even out the germination. The nine stills are placed under the close surveillance of a skilled blacksmith. In order to keep all of the character of The Balvenie Single Malts, the stills in used today are the exact replica of the originals. Until today, the oak casks are crafted by coopers, continuing the traditions and maintaining the skills alive as an heritage of ancient craftsmanship.
