Description
The Balvenie 30 Years Old The Rare Marriages Collection is an exceptionally long-matured Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, at 44.2 per cent, in a 0.7-litre bottle, presented in a high-quality gift box. For this prestigious bottling, the long-standing Malt Master and current Honorary Ambassador, David C. Stewart MBE, has blended carefully selected whisky stocks that have been allowed to mature for at least 30 years. At the heart of this whisky lies the marriage of traditional American and European oak casks that have been matured for decades. The careful selection and blending of these different cask characters form the basis for the single malt’s exceptional depth and balance.
Balvenie Thirty is part of the exclusive Rare Marriages Collection, which focuses on the art of cask selection and the blending of particularly old whisky stocks. David C. Stewart is one of the most influential figures in the modern whisky world and is particularly renowned for his decades of work with different cask maturations. In Balvenie 30 Years Old, this experience is combined with the characteristics of American and European oak that have developed over decades. With its advanced age, meticulous cask selection and 44.2% ABV, this 30-year-old Balvenie single malt is aimed particularly at experienced whisky connoisseurs and collectors of rare Speyside bottlings.

The Balvenie 30 Years Old Rare Marriages is best served neat at room temperature in a nosing or tulip glass, so that the decades of cask maturation can be fully appreciated. If desired, a few drops of still water may be added. Mature hard cheeses, walnuts or roasted almonds make for a subtle accompaniment, whilst for desserts, crème brûlée, dark chocolate, candied orange peel or creations featuring honey and nuts are ideal. Thanks to its 30 years of maturation and its place in the Rare Marriages Collection, this Balvenie is particularly well-suited to exclusive whisky tastings, collections, anniversaries and special occasions.
