The Balvenie has launched a trio of new releases, The Balvenie Stories, a new collection of whiskies representing tales of character, endeavour and craft. Each bottle has NFC-enabled tag where whisky lovers can use their smartphone to go on an audio journey.
Commenting on the release, The Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart MBE says: “Stories are the lifeblood of The Balvenie distillery. They make up the fabric of who we are and what we do. Each expression in the collection reflects this by telling its own story via first-hand accounts and recollections of the many people involved.”
The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 yo (43% ABV) – ancient technique meets fresh ideas. Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky are deep toasted then filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels to create a complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla.
The Week of Peat 14 yo (48.3% ABV) – Peated malt from Speyside is used resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smoke.
A Day of Dark Barley 26 yo (47.8% ABV) – Made with dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, the whisky brings smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours.
