The final expression is bottled at 46% ABV.
Every bottle of The Balvenie Fifty: Marriage 0614 is presented in a wooden canister, made from elm trees sourced from the grounds of The Balvenie Distillery. Each cannister is comprised of 50 layers: 48 layers of elm and two of brass, handcrafted by Scottish wood craftsman, Sam Chinnery, at his workshop on Bruntlands Farm near Elgin, Scotland.
