Balvenie 50 Year Old 1973 is a Speyside single malt representing a marriage of two cask types matured for five decades. Distilled in 1973, this 2025 release combines a European oak refill butt and an American oak hogshead. It offers a profound and complex profile of molten dates, sweet currants and violet, layered with sticky toffee and a subtle citrus zest. Bottled at 49.8%, the spirit has achieved an extraordinary textural viscosity and an endlessly persistent finish of warming oak and honey. Limited to only 97 hand-blown bottles worldwide, this release is a tribute to the craftsmanship of several generations of maltsters and coopers at the Dufftown distillery.

Crafted with Care
One of Speyside's most famous single malts, located in Dufftown and owned by William Grant and Sons. The distillery was founded in the late 1800s by William Grant, who worked at the Mortlach distillery nearby. Master Distiller David Stewart is credited with making Balvenie the powerhouse we know today.
David worked at Balvenie for many decades and introduced many innovations that are now widespread across the industry including 'cask finishes' where whiskies are aged for a period in ex-Bourbon wood before being finished for a relative short period in a more active barrel.
