The Balvenie Forty is a cask strength whisky, the boldest expression within the prestigious Rare Marriages Range; a collection of three distinct whiskies that showcase extraordinary depth and complexity. Only the rarest casks matured for four decades are used to create a flawless whisky marriage with layers of creamy fruitiness; orange marmalade and luscious oaky vanilla descend into fragrant orange blossom, ginger and delicate sherried fruit. Discover opulence in every sip of The Balvenie Forty.

A RANGE OF THREE DISTINCT WHISKIES: The Balvenie 40 is a cask strength whisky matured for forty years at The Balvenie warehouse, the boldest character to be launched within our Rare Marriages Range. The Balvenie Forty is richly sweet and refined with an elegant citrus richness.

A BOLD WHISKY MARRIAGE: Designed by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, some of the rarest European and American casks are used to create a bold marriage of extraordinary character. Every sip unveils layers of exceptional complexity.

RICH AND REFINED: On the surface you will distinctively notice The Balvenie’s signature flavours; runny honey with an underlying rich oakiness. But those who enquire further, who give the whisky time, let the flavours unfold into multiple complex layers of sweetness and spice revealing with warm notes of ginger and citrus.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND WHISKY: The Balvenie Forty is made from a small selection of our rarest casks that have stood the test of time. Each cask chosen for its exceptional quality and the ability to infuse the most unique and individual flavours. Forty years of maturation allows bold and rich flavours to unfurl.
