The Balvenie 27 Year A rare Discovery From Distant Shores

The Balvenie 27 Year Old A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores is a masterfully crafted single malt Scotch whisky finished in ex-Caroni rum casks. This exceptional expression begins with 27 years of maturation before being transferred into casks that once held the legendary Caroni rum from Trinidad—a spirit revered by rum enthusiasts worldwide. On the nose, rich muscovado sugar and manuka honey notes emerge, followed by lighter soft fruits and warming spice. The palate reveals velvety viscosity with a sweet opening that unfolds into treacle toffee, aged leather, and deep oak tannins. The finish is long, sweet, and luxuriously oily. Bottled at 48% ABV, this 750ml release tells the story of David C. Stewart's curiosity and craftsmanship—a rare collaboration born from a chance encounter in The Balvenie's Sample Room that resulted in one of the distillery's most distinctive and memorable whiskies.
