Episode 5: The Second Red Rose

The Balvenie

The Balvenie Stories Series takes you behind the scenes of The Balvenie, to meet the people and explore the places that helped shape this incredible range of whiskies. Hosted by Gemma Paterson, The Balvenie Global Ambassador. From our tasting room outside Glasgow, Gemma travels north to the distillery, and on to Dufftown where she explores some of the myths and legends of a hugely important 13th century castle. In The Second Red Rose, Gemma speaks to Malt Master David Stewart MBE about the inspirations behind The Second Red Rose, his memories of the First Red Rose, and speaks to collector Olaf Karlinsky on the historical influence of Balvenie Castle.
