Speyside Single Malt Scotch whisky, 48.1% ABV
The Balvenie Single Malt Whisky is made from fresh, plump barley grown on Balvenie Mains, a 1,000 acre farm situated adjacent to the distillery. After the barley is harvested, it is malted at the distillery with spring water sourced from the rolling Speyside hills that overlook the distillery.
The Second Red Rose is a real work of art — finished in Australian Shiraz, bottled at 48.1% ABV, and offering an enticing sensation of blackberry, ripe peaches, woody spice, and cracked black pepper.
