About this bottle
The Rare Marriages Range was crafted by The Balvenie's Malt Master David C. Stewart. This 40 Year bottling is one of three in the collection of rare single malt whiskies. Stewart begins by selecting the casks of single malts which aged in traditional American oak and European oak casks, and in this case they aged separately for 40 years. Then he married the two casks together in traditional oak tuns to mingle. This 40 Year Rare Marriages bottling is bottled with natural color at cask strength. Released in the US in June 2022.
