Balvenie Founder's Reserve - Cognac Bottle 3cl
Lot ID:340025
Bottle Description
The Balvenie Founder's Reserve is a marriage of single malt matured in both ex-bourbon and sherry casks, created by malt master, David Stewart.
This non-age statement was released in 1982 and originally packaged in these now iconic cognac style bottles.
Eventually this became a 10 year old expression and later releases also appear in the more familiar Balvenie livery of today.
Distillery Information
In 1892 work began to convert an 18th-century mansion, Balvenie New House, into a distillery. The building took fifteen months to complete and on 1 May 1893, the first distillation took place at Balvenie Distillery.
Balvenie's Malt Master, David Stewart MBE, is one of the industry's most experienced experts and began working with William Grant & Sons in 1962. He received an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II on the 5th of July 2016 for his services to the Scotch Whisky Industry.
