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 14 Year Old American Bourbon Cask is one of two bottlings in the new series "A Curious Cask Collection", which is the result of a close collaboration between Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie and Samples Coordinator George Paterson. This series follows on from the successful "Revelation of Cask and Character" and sets new standards in the world of whisky. During production, unpeated malt was milled, mashed, fermented and distilled, with the raw spirit absorbing gentle smoky notes, as distillation for the "Week of Peat" series had taken place shortly beforehand.

The special maturation in American bourbon barrels creates a harmonious interplay, which is further enriched by gentle smoky accents. The result is a whisky that clearly stands out from other bottlings and delights both connoisseurs and newcomers with its unmistakable taste experience. (automated translation)
