The third whisky in the Balvenie Stories collection, A Day of Dark Barley is a 26-year-old single malt made using dark-roasted barley malt. A deep, oaky whisky, matured for over a quarter of a century in a first-fill bourbon cask, it has malty aromas of soft brown sugar, vanilla, blossom honey and gentle oak spice. The palate initially offers notes of sweet toffee and tangy orange, slowly developing vanilla, toasted oak and spicy ginger. The Balvenie Stories collection is designed to bring to life the tales of 'character, endeavour and craft' of those at Balvenie through the generations.
