Descripción

The Balvenie Distillery, which has been producing high-quality whisky since 1892, still preserves many traditional methods in its production process. For example, the barley is still grown on site and the distillery uses a traditional malting floor – a rarity in the modern whisky industry. In addition, Balvenie employs its own team of coopers who are responsible for maintaining and repairing the casks to ensure optimum quality throughout the maturation process.

The Balvenie 21 Years Old Portwood Finish is first matured for 21 years in carefully selected bourbon casks. The whisky is then given a special Portwood Cask Finish, with Balvenie’s Malt Master continuously monitoring the result until bottling. This painstaking process ensures that the whisky reaches its full flavor potential and develops the characteristic depth and complexity for which Balvenie is renowned.
