The Balvenie is not a distillery that aggressively markets itself. But a mere mention of the name among connoisseurs is likely to evoke pleasant memories of previous encounters, and for a good reason. It produces unassuming single-malt whiskies that delight aspiring enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs alike.
The respect extends further than just the quality of the spirit. The Balvenie is one of precious few distilleries in Scotland that can claim with merit that it is a craft operation – short of bottling operations, the distillery grows some of its barley and maintains a working floor maltings. It also has its own cooperage to build and repair casks.
Even when the distillery releases high-value whiskies to market, there is an unmistakable modesty about them. ‘Seemingly simple, incredibly complex’; this is how The Balvenie sees its latest series of whiskies. The Rare Marriages range is a collection of three distinct whiskies of landmark ages, each expressing extraordinary layers of depth and complexity.
The first of that series, called Twenty-Five, was announced in 2021 but with the introduction of the new Thirty and Forty, the collection is now formalised. As the name suggests, the new range is a veritable showcase of fine-aged whiskies that have been skillfully blended and finessed (not to be confused with the process of cask finishing, which some distilleries allude to). You can make a point that this is The Balvenie’s interpretation of luxury: a comforting, assuring flavour profile that will surprise and delight you with layers upon layers of rich flavour.
