      A ONCE IN A LIFETIME POUR

      We are thrilled to offer one of the rarest whiskies in the world, the Balvenie 60 Year, at The Dark Bar. This extraordinary pour comes from a single European hogshead cask from 1962, the year David C. Stewart, the legendary Malt Master, began his illustrious career at the distillery. With only 71 bottles yielded globally, this whisky represents a pinnacle of rarity and craftsmanship. The nose reveals a rich tapestry of toffee, while the palate is elegantly layered with profound oak notes. This tasting experience is a testament to Balvenie's heritage and dedication. Indulge in this exceptional whisky at The Dark Bar, where each sip unfolds a story of timeless elegance and mastery.
