 IDEASFACTORY Scotland: Funding & Awards Zone Feature about The Balvenie Award
Balvenie Whiskey based in Dufftown (between Aberdeen and Inverness) and The Herald introduced the award in 2002 to support individuals or businesses that are keeping traditional skills and crafts alive in Scotland today.
The Balvenie Artisan of the Year 2004 will win £3,000 cash, a trophy specially designed by the 2002 winners Twists Glass Studio, and a huge range of Balvenie malts, which should help in the celebrations for at least a while.
A visit to The Balvenie website offers a warm welcome and provides a detailed history of not only Balvenie (pronounced either 'Balvenny' or 'Balveeny', depending on who you ask) but of whiskey in general.

 Balvenie
Balvenie was built next to the castle of the same name in 1892, on the back of the success of Glenfiddich.
Although Glenfiddich is still the market leader in terms of sales, Balvenie is generally regarded as the stronger of the two in terms of quality across the range, which include some stunning wood-finished whiskies produced long before it became fashionable to do so.
Each bottling is of one unique, Single Cask (hence the name), especially selected to be bottled on its own.

The Balvenie Portwood 1989 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a single vintage Balvenie, matured in traditional oak casks since 1989 and transferred to port casks, or pipes, which have previously held fine port wines.
Although similar in age to The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old, its maturation in specially selected port pipes has imbued The Balvenie with a very different taste compared to The Balvenie matured in sherry casks.
The taste of The Balvenie Portwood 1989 reflects the effect of maturation.

 Scotch Single Malt Whisky Distilleries in the Speyside, Dufftown District of the Highlands
The previous, and still most prevalent method of adding a measure of sherry to a single malt was to mix together, at bottling time, whiskies that had spent their entire maturing period in one cask or the other.
The wine finishes being released by many distilleries have introduced new flavors (to varying degrees of success) but the idea of flavoring one whisky with another essentially produces the feel of a vatted malt.
Recently I saw a bottle of it in Edinburgh for $200.

The Balvenie Portwood 21 Year Old was awarded the trophy for 'best single malt 12 years and over' at the 2004 International Wine and Spirits competition, being described by the judges as 'class in a glass'.
The Balvenie Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a classic 10 year old single malt which results from a marriage of The Balvenie matured in American bourbon casks with that matured in Spanish sherry casks, or butts.
During its period of maturation The Balvenie Doublewood is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask.

 A (limited) taste of the 50s from The Balvenie
The sherry cask is said to have given the whisky a variety of flavours, “from butterscotch to clover, honey, liquorice and chocolate”, according to David Stewart, malt master at The Balvenie.
Not only is Cask 191 the smallest ever release of The Balvenie, it is also the first to be matured in sherry casks, making it a shame that so few drinkers will be able to find it.
The reason for the limited bottling is simple — a whisky this old is affected by a number of factors, not least the evaporation of the spirit through the wood of the barrel, what is commonly called the Angel's Share.

By marrying The Balvenie slowly aged in traditional Oak casks and also in Oloroso Sherry Butts, David has created a rich, mellow Scotch whisky with unusual depth and complexity.
The traditional Oak - previously used to mature Bourbon - imbues warm honeyed tones, intense floral sweetness and distinct notes of vanilla, whereas The Balvenie matured in Sherry Wood displays a rich depth of colour, a dry oakiness and even greater refinement.
The product of a lifetime's work, 'Thirty' has been bottled at natural strength to capture all the signature characteristics of The Balvenie.

The finish is a surge of malt and peat in equal amounts with a long lingering sweetness.
While some may think it a bit too sweet I think it is a good balance with the other flavors that come through and it isn't as sweet as the next Balvenie, the 12 yo Double Wood (which is also excellent!).
