Balvenie 1937 50 Year Old Pure Malt
Subtitle (S1)
This incredibly rare malt was distilled in 1937 and bottled in 1987 after Jack and Wallace Milroy were invited to the Glenfiddich and Balvenie distillery. They paid a total of £62,100 for 360 bottles which were sold through the brothers' famous bottle shop on Greek Street in London, with the remainder of the 500 exported to the Japanese market via the Seven Importers Group.

Quote
Peter Grant Gordon invited us to visit Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries, when we noticed four casks of Balvenie 50 years old gathering dust in a corner of the warehouse. After a few drams Peter agreed to bottle these and sell most of it to us exclusively.
