Balvenie 15 Year Old Madeira Cask 70cl, 43%
The Balvenie Madeira Cask is a lively and summery single malt finished in casks previously which previously held Madeira wine.
In historic times, ships set sail filled with casks of Madeira wine around the New World. Throughout their journey, casks were exposed to the heat of the sun, naturally sweetening the wine it held.
Malt Master David C. Stewart has enjoyed times exploring the Madeira region and wines they produce, inspiring his experimentation of the cask type for finishing.
This is not the first time David has used Madeira casks – previous expressions have been of older ages. This release has a lighter, livelier character.

Balvenie 17 Year Old The Week of Peat Stories No.2 (70cl, 49.4%)
The Balvenie Stories Week of Peat 17 Year Old (49.4% ABV) results from a patient and careful monitoring process to reach a perfect balance of peat and signature Balvenie flavour notes – unmistakable honey, citrus and notes of peak smoke. This is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky from The Balvenie Distillery, available in a 70cl bottle ready for gifting.
The Week Of Peat story begins with distillery manager Ian Millar’s eagle eye spotting a weeks gap in the distillery schedule. Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, he ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln and built a peat burner on the side “for, well, extra peatiness”. The whisky produced is rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smoke.
The Balvenie Distillery is built on age-old traditions and stories which are passed on from one generation of craftsmen to the next. The Balvenie Stories are a range of exclusive single malt whiskies, each representing tales of character, endeavour and craft.

Balvenie 21 Year Old The Second Red Rose (70cl, 48.1%)
A 2021 release in the Balvenie Stories series, The Second Red Rose harks back to a release from the distillery’s history. The Balvenie Rose was finished in a Port pipes, resulting in a hue that was befitting of its name (which itself was an homage to what Margaret Douglas paid King James II as rent for staying in Balvenie Castle – a single red rose). For The Second Red Rose, the 21 year old single malt you see here, Balvenie’s malt master David C. Stewart chose to finish the expression in Australian Shiraz casks, imparting a whole host of ripe fruit notes, touches of blackberry and peach, a helping of rich oak, and of course, a rosy hue.
Released in late 2021, this is part of the Stories series from Balvenie. This particular whisky has been finished in ex-Shiraz red wine casks and is the 5th edition in the range which began in 2008.
It was made available in the UK via selected merchants which included branches of high-end department store, Selfridges.
