An Exceptional Speyside Single Malt Whisky Aged 25 Years

The Balvenie, Scottish Artisan Excellence Since 1892

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown, The Balvenie remains an exceptional Speyside Scotch whisky distillery, owned by William Grant & Sons since its inception. Unique in its kind, it still grows its own barley, a practice that has disappeared elsewhere in the Highlands. Under the expert direction of David C. Stewart MBE, Master Distiller since 1962, The Balvenie produces remarkably refined unpeated single malts. A pioneer of maturation in different casks with its famous DoubleWood in 1993, it embodies Scottish artisan excellence.

The 25-Year-Old, the New Flagship of the Rare Mariages Collection

The Balvenie 25-Year-Old joins the prestigious Rare Mariages range, the fruit of David C. Stewart's expertise and his 60 years of experience. This expression results from the perfect union of individual casks, composed of approximately 80% ex-bourbon hogsheads and 20% ex-sherry butts. The "TUN" method used illustrates the art and know-how of creating single malt whiskies.

A Packaging Befitting the Exceptional

The packaging reflects the prestige of its contents: a deep burgundy box that fades into lighter tones, symbolizing the evolution of flavors during maturation. Twenty-five golden rings adorn the box, representing each year of aging. This luxurious presentation positions this whisky as an introduction to the finest old Speyside whiskies, intended for enlightened enthusiasts as well as connoisseurs of single malt Scotch.
