53.6% | 70cl | Single Cask | Sherry Hogshead | Balvenie Distillery | Scotland“Burnside” is a rare and charming teaspooned malt—predominantly Balvenie with a drop of Glenfiddich—cra fted to conceal its true Speyside origin. This 27-year-old expression, aged in a sherry hogshead, is a masterclass in elegance and subtlety. On the nose, rich aromas of figs, leather, and polished oak give way to a palate of stewed fruits, nutmeg, and dried apricots. The sherry influence adds opulent depth without overpowering the soft honeyed malt. A graceful and complex Speysider, cloaked in mystery.
