The Balvenie 50 Year-Old-Scotch is the veritable jewel in the crown for the most serious of collectors. Only 83 bottles were produced (the smallest release ever of The Balvenie) and Vintages has successfully procured two bottles of this luxurious single malt. On January 26, 1952, it was laid down to mature in a single sherry cask. Over half a century later, the cask was emptied on September 6, 2002 allowing for the whisky to be bottled. According to Balvenie's resident malt master, David Stewart, the sherry cask ageing imparted an array of flavours running the gamut "from butterscotch to clover, honey, liquorice and chocolate." Each bottle has been individually dipped in wax, features a hand-written label that is personally signed by David Stewart and is presented in an opulent cherry wood box.

The Balvenie Vintage Cask 1972 was recently awarded 'The World’s Best New Release Whisky' at the 2007 Whisky Magazine World Whiskies Awards.
