Flavours of honey, cloves and caramelised baked dates are layered on top of delicate citrus and spice. The sweetness reveals an underlying oaky dryness.

Conclusion:
This expression is number 6 in the story telling collection by the Balvenie. Through the winding paths and steep Speyside hills to a glorious moor of heather. This is the story of what would fondly come to be known as The Heather Trials, and how the people behind them helped create the first ever expression of The Balvenie made entirely with ingredients grown on its Dufftown estate. Their creativity resulted in a delicately fruity and fragrant expression of The Balvenie, crafted with heather from the Balvenie estate.
