The Balvenie Stories collection celebrates the tales of 'character, endeavour, and craft' passed down through generations at Balvenie.

The 27 Year Old A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores features a rare Caribbean rum maturation that begins not in a distillery warehouse, but among the gleaming bottle-lined shelves of The Balvenie’s Sample Room. During a sunny visit, John Barrett introduced samples of Caroni rum, which the Balvenie team found exceptional, leading to an immediate order for the rum. David C. Stewart then aged Balvenie whisky in Caroni rum casks, resulting in a unique expression with distinct flavours and a velvety texture.

Nose

Rich toasted oak layered with chocolate and cocoa notes, creamy vanilla bean, and hints of clove and cinnamon spice, all resting on a deep base of dried fruit and citrus peel.

Taste

Elegant vanilla, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and creamy caramel lead into layers of rich malt and oak.

Finish

Velvety, with a long, delicately spiced caramel mocha note.
