Balvenie 19 Years Old – The Edge of Burnhead Wood

A timeless tribute to nature and craft, The Balvenie 19 Years Old – The Edge of Burnhead Wood is a unique single malt created from heather gathered near the distillery, dried and malted on Balvenie’s own traditional malting floor. Matured for nearly two decades in American oak casks, this whisky captures the essence of Speyside’s landscape, weaving floral delicacy with The Balvenie’s signature honeyed richness.

Crafted as part of the Balvenie Stories collection, this release tells the tale of innovation rooted in tradition—where local botanicals meet patient maturation to create a whisky of character, depth, and elegance.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fresh and floral. Aromas of blooming heather, honey, and vanilla mingle with candied citrus peel, dried fruit, and gentle oak spice.

Palate: Smooth and balanced. Notes of heather honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg are lifted by bursts of orange zest, blackberry, and creamy toffee. Subtle herbal tones and malt sweetness carry through with finesse.

Finish: Long and graceful. Lingering flavours of heather, sweet spice, and soft oak fade into a delicate floral warmth.

The Balvenie 19 Years Old – The Edge of Burnhead Wood is not simply a whisky—it is a story in liquid form. A rare expression of place and tradition, crafted for those who seek to taste the spirit of Speyside itself.
