Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 Year Old 1 Litre 43% 2000s Bottling

The Balvenie Founder's Reserve is a combination of single malts matured in both ex-bourbon and sherry casks, created by master malt David Stewart. This previous cornerstone of the main

Balvenie range was discontinued in 2009.

A litre bottle of the now-discontinued Founder's Reserve, for many years the go to bottle in the Balvenie range. A great example of the distillery's famed honeyed whisky. "A Malt whisky for connoisseurs which will be appreciated by those who enjoy fine malt whiskies" Derek Cooper, British Broadcaster and whisky writer.

Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 Year Old is a harmonious blend that was highly appreciated before its discontinuation in the late 2000s. Here are the tasting notes for the 43% ABV edition from this era:

Appearance: Golden amber.

Aroma: Medium-bodied with notes of marmalade, rosewater, honey, and spices, complemented by a subtle smoky note.

Palate: Sweet and spicy with highlights of lightly sherried peels and acacia honey. The bourbon and sherry casks impart a rich complexity.

Finish: Long and viscous with ample spice and sweetness, leaving a warm, lingering sensation.
