This single malt Scotch is composed of 79 hand selected whiskies that have aged at least 17 years in traditional (used) oak casks. The whiskies were blended together and married in virgin barrels of charred American white oak, finishing there for 4 months. Released in 2005, it was replaced by The Balvenie "New Oak" the following year.
