Description

This Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 Year Old is presented in a distinctive cognac-style bottle, representing an earlier era of Balvenie packaging before 1993. Produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, it pays tribute to founder William Grant. Matured for 10 years in a marriage of bourbon and sherry casks, it showcases a rich, smooth, and honeyed character typical of Speyside single malt whisky. This expression was part of Balvenie's core lineup in the 1980s and was discontinued around 2009, making it a collectible item.
