Kuala Lumpur, 28 June 2023 – The Balvenie Twenty-Five is part of the Rare Marriages range, representing an exquisite collection of three distinct whiskies that pay tribute to Malt Master David C. Stewart’s (MBE) dedication to designing and building exceptional flavour, through the marriage of rare casks. The Balvenie Twenty-Five showcases extraordinary layers of depth and complexity, and bears the hallmark of an exemplary single malt.
Intricately handcrafted at every step – from the making of its casks to its liquid, The Balvenie Twenty-Five is made with passion, creativity, heart and skill. In a flawless whisky marriage, David C. Stewart (MBE) brings together individual casks that have matured in Traditional American and European Oak to craft an incredibly intricate and balanced expression. A whisky of exceptional character, The Balvenie Twenty-Five hints at the most sought-after Balvenie flavours – bold vanilla oak, crystallised ginger and sweet runny honey. With every sip, layers of exceptional complexity are unveiled – a discovery that lends itself to timeless tranquillity.
“The Balvenie Twenty-Five is among the select few whiskies that embody the true craft and heart of our Malt Master David C. Stewart (MBE). A small selection of the rarest casks of exceptional quality and unique individual flavour are brought together by David’s expert nose in a traditional oak marrying tun, to create an unparalleled depth of flavour. The result is something incredibly special and one that speaks to the true heart of what The Balvenie stands for – flavours that are seemingly simple, yet incredibly complex, and whiskies that we are very proud of and excited to share with the world,” said Brett Bayly, Southeast Asia Malts Brand Ambassador.
