William Grant has added a 21-year-old expression to the ‘Stories’ line of single malts from The Balvenie.
The Second Red Rose, which has been finished in ex-Shiraz casks, is the fifth expression in the range, which debuted in May 2019. The new addition “pays homage” to The Balvenie Rose, a distillery-exclusive 16-year-old that was first launched in 2008.
