The Balvenie 25 Year Old Rare Marriages

25-year-old single malt whisky Balvenie Rare Marriages represents the pinnacle of The Balvenie distillery’s craftsmanship and decades of experience. This exceptional release was created by marrying carefully selected casks that matured exclusively in European and American oak, resulting in a remarkably balanced, elegant, and complex whisky.

Behind this edition stands David C. Stewart MBE, former Malt Master and Honorary Ambassador of The Balvenie, widely regarded as a pioneer of the modern approach to maturation and marrying single malt whiskies. Within the Rare Marriages series, individual casks are brought together in large marrying tuns, where they are given time to fully integrate and develop their character.

The nose is rich and layered, offering notes of autumn fruits, sweet honey, crystallised ginger, and pronounced oak spice. Gradually, delicate hints of toasted marshmallow, apple pie, and cinnamon emerge, lending the aroma a warm and refined character. The palate is exceptionally smooth and full-bodied, showcasing Balvenie’s signature style with bold oak-driven vanilla, sweet honey, and spicy ginger, complemented by fruity and gently creamy notes. Thanks to a quarter of a century of maturation, the whisky reveals a deep and rewarding flavour profile that unfolds slowly and confidently.

This 25-year-old collectible whisky is intended for connoisseurs and collectors seeking an exceptional Scotch single malt whisky with a clear distillery signature and a strong focus on balance, elegance, and precision.

The whisky is bottled at 48% ABV with a volume of 0.7 l and is presented in a premium gift tube that highlights its exclusive character.
