Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. This one, in particular, has a large crease on the bottom left of the presentation tube. Actual product pictured.

A follow up to the inaugural release in 2008 that was aged in Port Pipes. The Second Red Rose has been finished in Australian Shiraz casks. Shipped to Australia in late 2021, it's reported to be the first time Balvenie have ever used red wine barrels to mature their spirit. 48.1% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the importers... The nose is gentle but really blossoms, opening to reveal intense ripe fruits, fresh mango and subtle oak. The palate gives an initial burst of blackberry and ripe peach sweetness amongst gentle woody spice, before the decadently long lingering finish takes over with summer fruits and soft indulgent oak. It's liquid luxury in a glass and epitomises why Balvenie has become one of the highest awarded and sought-after single malts on the planet; one to “go straight to the pool room” to be saved for a special moment.
