Product Info
The Balvenie Fifty Collection is a unique tribute to the stories of people, craftsmanship, and visionary spirit that have shaped the last 50 years. The collection is comprised of three distinct expressions, released in limited quantities annually over three years. The First Edition, released in August 2024, is a unique single cask expression matured in a 1973 European oak refill butt, hand-selected by Malt Master Kelsey McKechney. For the Second Edition, Kelsey will further exemplify this marriage by adding a 1973 American oak hogshead cask to the First Edition. Finally, the Third Edition, released in 2026, will conclude the collection with a 1974 American oak barrel.
