Age: 10 Years

ABV: 40%

Cask: Bourbon and sherry casks

Size: 700 ml

The Balvenie Founder’s Reserve is a classic 10 year old Single Malt Scotch whisky which was created by The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, from a marriage of bourbon and sherry casks. Originally launched since the early 1980s, the Founder’s Reserve is now discontinued. Various editions of this bottling were released, including some iconic releases such as the first editions that resembled a cognac bottle. Founder’s Reserve was discontinued in 2009 and replaced by the then current range of bottlings, which was more focused on finishes and original casks, like the Caribbean Rum Cask finish, 12 Year Signature Reserve etc..

On the nose, The Balvenie Founder’s Reserve is rich and complex with honey and orange notes and just a hint of peat. Its taste is full-bodied honeyed sweetness, with light spicy notes and a hint of sherry fruitiness. Its finish is long with a pleasant lingering richness (Distillery Tasting Notes).

We estimate this to be an early 1990s bottling.
