Whisky

A rare single cask release from Balvenie. This whisky was distilled in early 1971 and then laid to rest in an ex-Oloroso Sherry cask for over 45 years before bottling. The nose is exotic spices and dark fruits with a hint of brown sugar while the palate is deep and rich with notes of honeycomb and toasted oak. The finish is malt sweetness and even more dried fruits.

The DCS Chapter Four is part of The Balvenie's DCS Compendium, a tribute to the distillery's Malt Master, David C. Stewart MBE. This chapter showcases five rare single cask single malt whiskies, each selected to reflect the craftsmanship and innovation behind The Balvenie's prestigious legacy.

One of the most storied distilleries in Scotland, The Balvenie is unique because it still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings, and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. All of these ensure the consistency and quality of its whisky.
