Balvenie 25 Year Old Rare Marriages 70cl

The result

A whisky of exceptional character, Twenty-Five hints at our most sought-after Balvenie flavours – bold vanilla oak, crystallised ginger and sweet runny honey.

An excellent 25-year-old single malt here from the Balvenie Distillery up in Speyside, released as part of its Rare Marriages series. Having matured in a combo of European and American oak casks before being married in a tun (hence the name), this expression has had a quarter of a century to develop a rich, rewarding flavour profile.
