The Balvenie Rare Marriages 40 Year Single Malt Scotch 750 ml

An exceptional masterpiece within The Balvenie’s Rare Marriages range, the Balvenie Forty represents the pinnacle of time, craftsmanship, and heritage. Bottled at 48.5% ABV and presented in a 70cl decanter, this rare single malt captures four decades of patient maturation and the artistry of legendary Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE.

Crafted from some of the rarest casks resting in The Balvenie’s traditional warehouses, each component whisky has been individually matured in American and European oak before being harmoniously married together. The result is a richly sweet, deeply complex spirit that balances bold character with refined elegance — a true celebration of The Balvenie’s dedication to time-honored craftsmanship.
