Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie has the honor of revealing The Balvenie Fifty Collection Second Edition, recently drawn from an American oak hogshead and a European oak refill butt.
The Balvenie Fifty Collection is more than just whisky: it's a Celebration of Speyside's rich heritage and a testament to The Balvenie Distillery's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.'
