Description

A highly-regarded single malt Scotch whisky from Balvenie, the Founder's Reserve 10 Year Old Litre was created by Malt Master David Stewart. It is a marriage of single malts matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for at least 10 years. Originally launched in the 1980s, this expression was a staple of the Balvenie core range until its discontinuation around 2009.
