There were also two masterclasses hosted by The Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, and Rufus Beazley from Chateau Latour Asia Pacific.

Balvenie’s David Stewart introduced and spoke about the Balvenie DCS Compendium, a handover of his 50+ years of knowledge in both written and liquid form. David personally selected 25 rare and personally significant vintage single cask whiskies, created themes (called Chapters) for each set of 5 bottles and is releasing them over five years. Chapters 1 and 2 were released in 2015 and 2016 with a focus on the Balvenie distillery style and the influence of oak on the whisky respectively . The current chapter 3 was introduced in 2017 and is a story about the whisky stock. When complete, the the Balvenie DCS Compendium would have served to capture David’s achievement and contribution to his whisky-making craft.
