The Balvenie Debuted 'A Gift Shaped by the Seasons'

— April 27, 2026 — Marketing
The Balvenie has introduced 'A Gift Shaped By The Seasons' for Father's Day. This limited-edition gift pack features the DoubleWood 12 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky alongside a sample of the Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old and two premium leather coasters. The spirits are packaged with artwork by award-winning Los Angeles-based, Hong Kong-born artist Victo Ngai.

The Balvenie's 'A Gift Shaped By The Seasons' gift pack transforms a standard whisky bottle into an exciting collectable opportunity. The creative illustrations by Ngai "encapsulate the brand’s belief in time as a creative force, a philosophy [the artist] explores through references to the four seasons." She waved two tree trunks within the composition to symbolize The Balvenie's approach to maturation in two differing cask types.
