The Balvenie Peat Week Collection showcases the distillery’s expertise in crafting nuanced, peat-influenced expressions. The Edge of Burnhead 19 Year Old derives its subtle smokiness from aging near a peat-fired kiln.
On the nose, notes of dried honey, candied ginger and citrus zest mingle with wisps of drifting smoke. The palate presents layered flavors – vanilla cream and almonds nestled with a gentle kiss of peat and ash.
Aged for 19 years primarily in refill American oak casks, it achieves an delicate balance where peat accentuates rather than dominates. Finishing on European oak imparts complexity.
Bottled at a cask strength 49.6% ABV, its fiery character is tempered by lush honeyed richness. Luxurious yet approachable neat or on the rocks, each sip reveals new dimensions in texture.
An artfully crafted expression for connoisseurs seeking novel blending of styles. The Edge of Burnhead honors Balvenie’s signature craftmanship while broadening single malt appreciation. Extremely limited, it makes an heirloom gift.
