"The Balvenie Distillery has been owned and managed by an independent family company for five generations.  This has ensured that the Balvenie Distillery is still dedicated to the traditions, care and craftsmanship of malt whisky making.  Nowhere else will you find a Distillery that still grows its own barley, that still malts its own traditional floor maltings, that still has coopers to tend the casks and that still has a coppersmith to tend the stills.  From this distillery comes the Balvenie Portwood.  Whisky matured in two different casks of different character has a richer, deeper more complex character than that matured in a single cask.  During maturation, the Balvenie PortWood is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask in which it has been matured for 21 years to an original port cask thereby acquiring character from both casks.  the result is a malt with honeyed tones of distinctive and robust character." —producer

"Handcrafted using an exceptionally high proportion of first-fill Sherry oak casks, handpicked by our whisky maker, from less than 1% of the casks maturing at the Macallan distillery. Coupled with the Macallan's commitment to natural colour, we have created a tantalising single malt which sees Spanish oak pique the nose before admitting rich dried fruits and an edgy trickle of treacle. A hesitant sweetness enters, then oak returns, burnished and mature. On the palate a rush of ginger, nutmeg, and resin herald orange, sultana, and raisins with their restrained but pervasive sweetness. A hint of cloves, but with oak the undisputed maestro. The finish of this naturally occurring ruby-red spirit is long, lingering, and reflective." —producer

"Full gold colour. Rich aromas of dark chocolate with hint of caramel, black cherry, honey, and almonds. Substantial, tongue coating whisky. Flavors of sweet oranges, black cherry, nuts, and honey. Hint of smoke. Sweet finish with a hint of dried banana and nuts." —producer

"Patiently matured for 21 years on‐site at the distillery, it is an exquisite, traditional Speyside whisky, rich and ripe with our Glenfiddich signature notes. But rather than bottle it, as other distillers would, our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, hand picks selected barrels and adds a sublime finishing touch. By finishing our 21 Year Old in Caribbean rum casks it awakens the liquid, rousing it with extra exotic notes of ginger, fig, lime and banana and a vibrant spicy toffee warmth, elevating it from something great to something extraordinary. Raised in Scotland. Roused by the Caribbean." —producer
