Balvenie 1975 Robert Watson Over Proof 

An interesting old bottle of Balvenie, independently bottled by Robert Watson of Aberdeen.

Put into cask in January 1975 and bottled May 1985. 

Balvenie was built by William Grant in 1892 and remains part of his family's company to this day. In the early part of its history, its purpose was primarily for the provision of malt for Grant's blends, however following the global success of Glenfiddich, the Balvenie single malt brand was launched in 1973. It remained a rarity though, and it was not until the opening of Kininvie in 1990, and later Ailsa Bay in Girvan, that the distillery was given the freedom to focus on its single malt. Today it is one of the best recognised brands in the world. As a result, independent bottlings like this one are especially rare.
