Burnside is a code name used by independent bottlers for single malt Scotch whisky produced at The Balvenie distillery in Dufftown, Speyside. The Balvenie does not permit independent bottlers to use their official name, so these bottlings appear under the Burnside label instead. Despite the anonymity, Burnside releases are prized by whisky enthusiasts who recognize the distinctive honeyed, malty character that defines Balvenie's spirit. Independent bottlers select individual casks, often resulting in unique expressions that showcase different wood finishes and maturation profiles not available in The Balvenie's official range.
