A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores is the 8th edition in The Balvenie Stories Range. This whisky aged for 20 years in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks before a long, 7-year finishing period in ex-Caroni rum casks. Bottled at 48% ABV without chill-filtration or added color, this expression was created after a chance encounter between Managing Director of Bristol Spirits John Barrett and former Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. The resulting flavor set is significantly influenced by the rum casks. This whisky is a perfect step up for fans of The Balvenie’s 14-Year Caribbean Cask.
