Balvenie 27 Year Old A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores (70cl, 48%)
A 27-year-old Balvenie single malt that was discovered by chance by David Stewart from the inventory of travelling salesman John Barret. Rich and indulgent, this whisky has been finished in oak that previously held Caroni rum.
An impressive addition to The Balvenie Stories Range, A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores celebrates the friendship and collaboration between different spirits producers. Matured for 27 years, this single malt spent its final seven years finishing in ex-Caroni rum casks, which ought to be pretty exciting for fans of the long-closed Trinidadian distillery. We all know how well Balvenie’s whisky does in a rum cask, and these rare barrels found their way to the distillery thanks to a meeting between its head distiller David Stewart and John Barrett of legendary rum bottler, Bristol Spirits. What a serendipitous meeting that was, celebrated in the form of this magnificent whisky.

In each film our distillery brand ambassador David Mair sits down with a familiar face from the DoubleWood’s history, to look back at the last 25 years and forward to the future. Our first guest is David Stewart MBE, Balvenie malt master and the DoubleWood’s creator, who discusses his fond Balvenie memories. Next we sat down with head cooper Ian McDonald, who after nearly half a century at the distillery has more than a story or two to share. Finally, we look towards the future with Kelsey McKechnie as she embarks on her malt master apprenticeship under David Stewart.
