Balvenie Cask 191 1952 50 Year Old 70cl / 45.1% ABV / Distillery Bottling Category: Speyside Compare Prices: Balvenie
Description: The Balvenie Cask 191 is a very rare whisky and is the last cask of The Balvenie from the 1950s. Unfortunately the angels have taken more than their fair share from Cask 191, leaving only 83 bottles for release from the 250 that were filled into the cask on the 26th January 1952 making it the smallest ever release by The Balvenie. The Cask was emptied on the 6 September 2002 to allow the whisky to be bottled.
Apart from being the smallest ever release of Balvenie, it is also the first to be solely matured in sherry casks, making it truly unique. The sherry cask is said to have given the whisky a variety of flavours, from butterscotch to clover, honey, liquorice and chocolate.
Each bottle features a hand written label, signed personally by David Stewart the malt master at The Balvenie and it is presented in a luxury cherry wood box.
Tasting Notes: The Balvenie Cask 191 Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a complex nose, intense with toffee, marzipan, sweet oak, raisins and nuts. The depth of flavour is astonishing, developing from butterscotch to clover honey, liquorice and chocolate, elegantly balanced with drying oak and spice.
