The Balvenie A Revelation of Cask and Character is a 19-year-old single malt whisky that has been aged solely in European oak ex-sherry casks. It is the result of years of curiosity and learning by the Balvenie coopers, who have been working with wood and metal for over 50 years. The whisky has a rich flavor profile, with notes of honey, spice, ripe fruits, and chewy fig. It is a perfect way to showcase the journey of the Balvenie coopers and their craft.

Balvenie Description

A Revelation of Cask and Character tells the tale of expertise, intuition and the craft of Coopering... and the story of how Sherry casks became a staple part of Scotch Whisky.

A Revelation of Cask and Character is the result of years of curiosity and learning from The Balvenie coopering team, including Head Cooper Ian McDonald and Balvenie apprentices... but our story begins with an unexpected discovery even longer ago...

The Balvenie is a distillery built upon stories and tradition, with the craft of making its whisky handed down through the generations since it was built by William Grant in 1892. The Stories collection is a range of whiskies inspired by these tales, and A Revelation of Cask and Character is the story of the distillery’s coopers – the craftsmen who maintain The Balvenie’s casks.

The Balvenie is one of the few distilleries in Scotland with an on-site cooperage, where casks are repaired and maintained. Head cooper Ian McDonald has been working with casks for 50 years and this release taps into his extensive knowledge, as well as that of his colleagues who build sherry casks in Spain. The result is this 19-year-old oloroso-sherry-cask-matured expression with layers of dried fruit, nuts and spice.
