THE BALVENIE
1961 VINTAGE CASK #4194 1 OF 1
50.9% | 70cl
A truly unique bottling of The Balvenie from Cask
#4194. At first glance, this bottle could be easily
mistaken for The Balvenie’s 1961 Vintage Cask 38
Year Old, however, this is in fact a rarity bottled
from the same cask at thirty six years of age.
On 1st September 1997, some whisky was drawn
from Cask #4194, originally laid down in June 1961,
and hand-filled into a singular bottle. Ludicrously
50
rare, this is bottle number one of one, hand-filled
and labelled at the distillery two years prior to the
official 1961 Vintage Cask release in September
1999. This bottle provides the unique opportunity
to conduct a comparative tasting against the official
1961 Vintage Cask.
