Available in very limited quantities, the new addition to The
Balvenie 17 Year Old range is finished in casks that once held
Madeira Wine. With deep, luxurious aromas that translate into
an equally rewarding flavor of spice and dried fruit, this rare
expression has already received a rating of 90% from Malt Advocate
magazine.
The Balvenie 17 Year Old Madeira Cask was launched over two
exquisitely crafted evenings at New York’s Eleven Madison
Park Restaurant. Guests, including members of the press and
influential industry figures, as well as invited Warehouse 24
members, were treated to a tasting of the entire range, culminating
in a first taste of the new Madeira cask.
Our Malt Master, David Stewart, whose signature appears on
each of the Balvenie bottles, enthuses on this aspect "The
Balvenie's high quality is down to the traditional way of making
malt whisky... it's this seamless transition through generations
of creativity and craft that has preserved The Balvenie’s
consistency in producing such delightful drams."
Launch of the 2009 Limited Release – The Balvenie Madeira
Cask, Aged 17 years held at Philippe by Philippe Chow in Hollywood
California, November 17th 2009. Hosted by The Balvenie Ambassador
Andrew Weir, was a rousing success and well attended with tables

BARREL 15 YEAR, the new 17 YEAR MADEIRA CASK and PORTWOOD 21
