		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.
		However, the age of the whisky and the evaporation over the years means that the strength of the whisky has dropped from 63.5 per cent to 45.1 per cent.
		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.
