Innovative Craftsmanship in Every Bottle
 
The Edge of Burnhead Wood marks the fourth release in Balvenie's celebrated Stories range, highlighting the distillery's continuous spirit of experimentation. This exceptional 19-year-old single malt encapsulates the essence of Balvenie's Dufftown estate, crafted using only ingredients sourced from its surroundings: home-grown barley, water from the Robbie Dhu spring, and fresh heather from the namesake Burnhead Wood.
 
A Unique Production Process
 
This unique single malt comes from a process where fresh heather was dried, dampened, and then introduced into the kiln during the malting. This innovative step adds a distinctive character to the whisky, as explored by Balvenie’s global brand ambassador, Gemma Paterson, in an accompanying podcast that delves deeper into the production nuances.
 
Complex Aromas and Rich Flavors
 
The nose of The Edge of Burnhead Wood offers a delightful blend of dried fruit dusted with nutmeg and honey on toast, complemented by an oily hint of roasted barley and balanced by the fresh scent of citrus blooms. This complex bouquet sets the stage for a rich and engaging sensory experience.
 
Palate and Finish
 
The palate unfolds with more layers of dried fruit, notably Medjool dates and plump sultanas, followed by the aromatic warmth of oak. Delicate heather honey and sugary shortbread add sweetness and depth. The finish extends these flavors with floral wafts of heather and vanilla blossom, and a final whisper of candied ginger, leaving a memorable and refined aftertaste.
