The Balvenie 30 Year Old
The Balvenie 30 Year Old is a rare and especially fine single malt for which Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE selects only exceptional casks that were laid down over 30 years ago. By marrying The Balvenie slowly, aged in traditional oak whisky casks with that aged in European oak sherry casks, David creates a rich, mellow aged whisky with unusual depth and complexity. 'Thirty' is bottled at 47.3% ABV to capture all the signature characteristics of The Balvenie.

Glendronach Parliament Aged 21 Year Old
Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years and bottled at 48% ABV, the 'Parliament' continues the great GlenDronach tradition of offering fruit-laden intensity in its single malts. This rich expression has been named 'Parliament' after the colony, or 'parliament', of rooks that have been nesting in the trees that overlook the GlenDronach distillery for almost 200 years.

Nose: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits - notably blackberries and red plums. Rich Oloroso sherry and candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits and toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight and balance.
Palate: Resolute flavours of fine Oloroso sherry and bitter chocolate sauce, which has been spread liberally over homemade plum pudding. This is all infused with fabulous spicy notes - cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Full bodied with smooth tannins.
Finish: Long and lingering.
