At the 2006 International Spirits Challenge, Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky was awarded gold medals for its Founder’s Reserve 10 Year Old, DoubleWood 12 Year Old, NewWood 17 Year Old, PortWood 21 Year Old, Thirty and PortWood 1991. This is the biggest gold medal haul for any brand in any one year since the competition began, so it is fairly apparent that you are in for something special when you buy your preferred Balvenie.  Experts and amatuers love it so you’ll be in for something special.
