Balvenie Creation of a Classic

A release that has been created to celebrate the occasion of Master Blender David C. Stewart receiving an MBE. This whisky recreates the original 'Classic' Balvenie as created by David at a time when most single malts were just vatted and bottled without much thought to the casks that they had been matured in. David Stewart was one of the first Master Blenders to try something different, by re-racking ex-Bourbon barrels into Sherry butts and puncheons for a final maturation period. A process that later become known as 'finishing' . This whisky has been carefully matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and given some time in high quality Sherry casks before being bottled.
