Last week, this week and next week, we're celebrating three amazing expressions of The Balvenie. I do believe The Balvenie is unique among Scottish distilleries. The traditions that have been kept alive at The Balvenie are things you would expect from a small family operation. They are, of course, anything but that. The traditions, including continuing to malt their own barley, along with the quality coming out of that distillery, have won great friends and fans in us. Think of this as a lead up to the Balevenie 50, which we're going to open in January. I hope you will consider the 50 for yourself, as a present to another, or as a suggestion you might make to a real aficionado.
This week, in The Spirits Project, we will open an exemplary old bottle of The Balvenie 25. This whisky is the product of individually bottled traditional whisky oak casks forming a limited edition of no more than 250 hand-numbered bottles and we have one of them. To my mind, the 25 is the flagship of the house. The 30 is extraordinary, but I find it to be in it's own category. The 30 and the 50 are more individual expressions in the stratosphere. The 25 to me, its the pinnacle of The Balvenie style. It caps the range. One should drink it in a leather armchair with a good cigar. Or of course, at our bar, one ounce at cost on Thursday.
We will open one bottle of The Balvenie 25 on Thursday at precisely 6:30. When it's gone, it's gone.
