NEW LIMITED EDITION ANNOUNCED
Our Malt Master has revealed the successor to last year’s limited edition release. The Balvenie Madeira Cask is a spicy counterpoint to the rich sweetness of last year’s RumCask. Available in selected shops from September and being bottled right now, the new Edition is finished in casks that once held Madeira, the fortified wine from Portugal’s Atlantic archipelago.  The Balvenie Madeira Cask is the latest in a series of six 17 Year Old limited edition releases by The Balvenie Distillery Malt Master, who retains a passion for experimentation even after 30 years in the role. Each year’s edition has used different cask types to create a new expression of The Balvenie for limited release. David Stewart describes his latest release as having extracted some wonderful rich spice and distinct raisin flavours from the Madeira cask. The Balvenie Madeira Cask 17 Year Old provides a fascinating contrast to the sweeter RumCask, complementing beautifully The Balvenie’s uniquely honeyed character.
