Never mind if you’ve already got your Christmas shopping sorted, because this one deserves a spot on the list anyway — more so if you or someone dear are serious whiskey drinkers.
The Balvenie introduced its latest collaboration with heritage pewtersmith Royal Selangor a few days ago, and it’s downright brilliant. Yes, the two make pretty strange bedfellows, but their shared passion for time-honoured craftsmanship has resulted in a stunning collection that will have you sip whiskey in style.
The limited edition Collector’s Box is a sight to behold. The vessel, which takes up to six days to finish, is made from beautiful walnut wood and encased in painstakingly hand-hammered pewter (there are more than 800 precise knocks), a signature of the Malaysian brand. What’s inside is up to you: buyers can choose three bottles of The Balvenie expressions that are 30 years and above to total a minimum value purchase of £41,800 (approximately RM225,472). There are only 15 of them available across Singapore and Malaysia, so it’s a good idea to act fast.
