Burnside 28, 1991-2020, Bourbon Barrel 7367, 45% – C. Dully Selection
Yeah, another ‘blended malt’ from Balvenie Distillery. There’s a drop of something else, most likely Glenfiddich, in this one to declassify this as Single Malt. Of course, this generally is reflected in the price and many whisky fanatics know by … Continue reading

Burnside 24, 1997-2021, Hogshead 6542, 54.1% – Archives
Another undisclosed Balvenie that is tea-spooned. A few years ago there were a lot of them, but this specific one was bottled for the Taiwanese market. By Archives / Whiskybase, with a bird from the orient on the label. Genereally, … Continue reading

Burnside 1999-2023, Oksamyt Wine Finish, 57.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd
Where Fiddichside is obviously Glenfiddich, Burnside is their neighbouring distillery of Balvenie. As with many distilleries nowadays, they don’t want their distillery name on the label, and on top of that things have to be bottled as a blended malt. … Continue reading

Burnside 25, 1996-2021, Hogshead 2176, 54.7% – Archives
And not just any Archives, but a bottling for the Canadian market. It’s not labeled with a Samoan fish, which seems to be the main go-to style. This one has a British dragonfly on the label. Burnside then. This isn’t … Continue reading

The Brexiteer 27yo, 1991-2019, American Oak Barrel 7389, 46% – Whisky Center
The other sample I got sent from Whisky Center is The Brexiteer. A burnside blended malt, which we all know to be teaspooned Balvenie. Officially not a single malt but the amount of Glenfiddich in it is negligable, so it … Continue reading

Burnside 1991-2018, 26yo, 46.7% – Cadenhead’s
As I sit here reviewing this almost-single-malt I think about how clever this ploy of the whisky industry actually is. William Grants, the owners of Balvenie Distillery don’t want their distillery’s name on a bottle, so they teaspoon it with … Continue reading

Burnside 1989-2014, 24 years old, 51.7% – Whiskybase
This is a blended malt, in a way. Well, officially it is. It’s a cask of Balvenie, teaspooned with Glenfiddich. So actually, it’s just Balvenie which they put some Glenfiddich in to make sure no one can call it that. … Continue reading
