Stories always start at the beginning (unless theyre one of those purposely confusing stories like Memento or those Funnybones books - its never explained why theyre skeletons!), and this is the introductory release from The Balvenie Stories range! These releases all give light to events and people in Balvenies past and present - this one, for example, takes inspiration from apprentice malt master Kelsey McKechnie and her idea to import virgin oak barrels from Kentucky and deeply toast them at the distillerys cooperage. They were then filled with Balvenies ex-bourbon oak aged Whiskey for a finishing period, resulting in... Well, this very Whiskey you see here!
