BALVENIE - SINGLE MALT - OB - "RARE HIGHLAND MALT (GREEN BOTTLE SCREEN PRINT, BY ARCHIEBALD, GAY LUSSAC IMPORT)

This highly precise description refers to an iconic "holy grail" bottle from the dawn of single malt marketing. It is an ultra-rare vintage bottling from the early 1970s that represents one of the earliest official commercial releases of The Balvenie as a standalone single malt.

Unlike the bright, vanilla-forward, clean profile of modern Balvenie finished in bourbon casks, this vintage liquid is legendary for being waxy, heavy, and oily, with a dense coat of heather honey, old library dust, and a distinct, fragrant thread of peat smoke.
