The Balvenie : 21 Year Old "PortWood"

An unmatched elegance and complexity in a Scottish single malt

The Balvenie, a distillery with preserved expertise for over a century

The The Balvenie distillery, located in Speyside, Scotland, is renowned for its artisanal expertise and traditional production methods. Founded in 1892, it stands out for its commitment to authenticity, with each stage of production being mastered in-house, from barley cultivation to bottling. Under the direction of malt master David C. Stewart, The Balvenie has innovated by refining some of its whiskies in special casks, thus adding a unique dimension to its single malts.

An iconic spirit combining elegance and structure

The PortWood 21 years is one of the most iconic creations of the distillery, made from a selection of the rarest whiskies. This Scottish whisky owes its uniqueness to its double maturation process, which begins in American oak casks, allowing it to develop a characteristic sweetness and roundness. Subsequently, it is refined in casks that have contained high-quality ports, a finishing method developed by David C. Stewart in 1983. This second stage of ageing in ex-Port casks gives it a complexity and depth that make it a model of elegance.

A rigorous elaboration revealing the expression of great Scottish terroirs

Made exclusively from malted barley distilled on site, this single malt whisky unveiled in 1996 expresses all the richness of The Balvenie's artisanal expertise.
