Balvenie Distillery 1964 Whisky
The Balvenie Distillery has released 151 bottles from a single cask from 1964 of The Balvenie, which will be sold only in duty free retailer Sky Connection in the Hong Kong International Airport.
The cask was number 10378, and is extremely rare. An expert in whisky maturation, The Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart said: "It is only a few special casks of The Balvenie single malt that continue to improve beyond 40 years. Each cask has a unique influence on the spirit it holds and the fine balance of flavours in The Balvenie 1964 can never be repeated."
The company said the long period of maturation has infused The Balvenie 1964 with “an amazing depth of flavor, characterized by sweet infusions of dried tobacco leaf and rich fruit cake, complex layers of dried fruits, ground coffee, walnut, and elegant oakiness”. Bottled at cask strength and presented in a specially crafted cherry wood box, each bottle is individually hand numbered and costs approximately $13,889 by the current exchange rate.
