701.5 BALVENIE 1964 ( 32 YEAR OLD)

BALVENIE 1964 VINTAGE CASK

Balvenie was built by William Grant in 1892 and remains part of his family’s company to this day. In the early part of its history, its purpose was primarily for the provision of malt for Grant’s blends, however following the global success of Glenfiddich, the Balvenie single malt brand was launched in 1973.

Today it is one of the best recognised brands in the world. In 1993 they launched the 12 year old “DoubleWood,” an expression credited with pioneering the use of cask-finishing, and this has become a key motif for the distillery’s output in recent times.

The Vintage Cask range of whiskies from Balvenie are a fantastic insight into single casks released from this popular Speysider. Distilled on 9th October 1964 and bottled on 7th November 1996, this 32 year old single cask Balvenie was bottled from barrel #8997.This is one of the oldest vintages of Balvenie we have seen.
