Balvenie 1967 Single Cask 40 Year Old #9915

Balvenie was built by William Grant in 1892 and remains part of his family's company to this day. In the early part of its history, its purpose was primarily for the provision of malt for Grant's blends, however following the global success of Glenfiddich, the Balvenie single malt brand was launched in 1973. It remained a rarity though, and it was not until the opening of Kininvie in 1990, and later Ailsa Bay in Girvan, that the distillery was given the freedom to focus on its single malt. Today it is one of the best recognised brands in the world. In 1993 they launched the 12 year old "DoubleWood," an expression credited with pioneering the use of cask-finishing, and this has become a key motif for the distillery's output in recent times.

This Balvenie was distilled in June 1967 and matured in single cask #9915 for 40 years. It was bottled in January 2008 and made exclusively available through the travel retail market, to commemorate the opening of Heathrow Terminal 5 in March that year.
