Since Burnside’s parent company is William Grant \u0026amp; Sons, the chief co-conspirator here is Balvenie, likely with an assist from Glenfiddich. With newmake that is characteristically sweet and honeyed, offset by a tiny amount of peat, Balvenie has been an industry leader in the category of finished whiskies, and though the provenance of this bottling’s original cask is unknown, three years of finishing in a first-fill red wine barrique offers an elevated version of the Balvenie classic house character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lohr","offers":[{"title":"700ml","offer_id":49287433945206,"sku":"892032500463","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/9717\/7206\/files\/impex_burnside.jpg?v=1794162711","url":"https:\/\/www.wineandcheeseplace.com\/products\/impex-single-malt-burnside-14-year","provider":"The Wine \u0026 Cheese Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
