Balvenie A Rare Discovery from Distant Shores 27 Year
Single Malt
Balvenie // Speyside, Scotland
A Rare Discovery from Distant Shores is a single malt release in The Balvenie's Stories portfolio. The inspiration for the creation of this whisky comes from the time that John Barrett, Malt Master David C. Stewart's long time friend, came to visit the distillery with samples of Caroni Rum from Trinidad.
A few years later in 2014, Stewart decided to move some 20 year-old Balvenie that had been aging in traditional American oak casks into ex-Caroni Rum casks. Aged a total of 27 years, this whisky was then bottled at 48% ABV. It was released in the US in November 2022.
