About this bottle

The Balvenie's Malt Master, David C. Stewart, developed the Rare Marriages Range. This 40-year-old expression is one of three distinct single malt whiskies in the collection. Stewart selects single malt casks aged separately for four decades in traditional American and European oak. These are then combined in traditional oak tuns for mingling. Bottled at cask strength with its natural color, this 40 Year Rare Marriages bottling became available in the US in June 2022.
