Balvenie 1996 The Cooper Craftsman's Reserve #1 10142 + 17949 Warehouse No. 24 59.4% 700ml information

The Balvenie 1996 The Cooper Craftsman's Reserve #1 is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the Balvenie team of coopers. This limited release, comprising only 515 bottles, was distilled in 1996 and matured for 15 years in two European oak sherry butts, specifically casks 10142 and 17949. Bottled in 2012 at a robust 59.4% ABV, this single malt Scotch whisky showcases a well-sherried profile, reflecting the quality of the oak casks it matured in. Crafted to honor the Balvenie coopers who meticulously maintain and turn around an average of 20 casks per day, this whisky exemplifies the craftsmanship behind the brand. The presentation box, featuring a technical illustration of a European oak sherry butt by Philip Cox, highlights the intricate process of cask-making, pivotal to the whisky's development. Founded in 1892 by William Grant & Sons, Balvenie is a renowned Speyside distillery celebrated for its traditional approach and high-quality single malts. With a production capacity of approximately 7 million liters per annum, Balvenie has grown significantly, expanding its stills three times between 1957 and 1971, to a total of eight. This release is a rare and special component of Balvenie's rich heritage, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
