Journeying through the winding paths and steep hills of Speyside, we arrive at the breathtaking heather-covered moors. This is the narrative of what affectionately became known as The Heather Trials and the individuals who played a pivotal role in creating the very first expression of The Balvenie crafted entirely from ingredients cultivated on its Dufftown estate.
The Balvenie Distillery draws its essence from the narratives passed down from one generation of craftsmen to the next. The Balvenie Stories collection, featuring three unique whiskies, is an ode to these stories of character, dedication, and artistry.
Each whisky brought to life by The Balvenie unfolds a human story, evolving alongside its protagonists and revealing unexpected dimensions as it matures over the years. It's a celebration of the enduring craft and tradition that defines The Balvenie.
Tasting Note by Balvenie:
Nose: Lively and vibrant, this Balvenie has notes of fig and geranium oil perfectly balanced with fresh herbal undertones reminiscent of green woodland.
Palate: Flavours of honey, cloves and caramelised baked dates are layered on top of delicate citrus and spice. The sweetness reveals an underlying oaky dryness.
Finish: Lingering, oaky, dried blossom.
