The Balvenie 19 Year Old "Edge of Burnhead Wood" is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Speyside distillery, The Balvenie. As the sixth installment in their acclaimed Stories series, this expression is crafted using ingredients sourced directly from the Balvenie Dufftown estate. The whisky's unique character comes from the estate-grown barley, pure water from the Robbie Dhu spring, and freshly harvested heather from the Burnhead Wood. During the malting process, the heather is dried, slightly dampened, and added to the kiln, imparting a distinctive and captivating profile to the whisky.
With an impressive aging period of 19 years, this single malt is bottled at a robust 48.7% ABV. On the nose, it presents vibrant aromas of fig, geranium oil, and herbal notes intertwined with the freshness of cut grass. The palate reveals layers of sweetness, featuring honey, cloves, and baked dates, complemented by delicate hints of citrus and oak spice. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of oak and dried blossom.
Inspired by Malt Master David C. Stewart's innovative experiments with locally grown barley and heather, The Edge of Burnhead Wood represents a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern creativity. This release, the fourth in Balvenie's Stories range, is a robust single malt that celebrates the unique terroir of the Dufftown estate. Expect a whisky brimming with honeyed sweetness, floral notes, and the warmth of toasted oak—a true tribute to Balvenie's rich heritage and dedication to quality.
