Celebrating 10 years of Inverurie Whisky Shop

Burnside 15 Year Old

BUY NOW

We spent 10 years as a business in our old address of Burnside, Inverurie. It seems a fitting tribute, therefore, to have bottled this exciting new release as an homage to our former home.

Burnside, as we all might know, comes from one of Speysides finest whisky distilleries. This release is officially a Blended Malt, ‘teaspooned’ at birth in warehouses just outside Dufftown.

What is Teaspooning, I hear you ask.

Teaspooning is a fond term for adding a teaspoonful of one malt into the cask of another malt, effectively turning a single malt into a blended malt. It’s a method used for brand protection, meaning we can’t call this a bottle of Balvenie (or whatever…..)

We have just 70 bottles of this exceptional whisky, finished for three years in a Cognac Cask and bottled for us by one of our local Independent Bottlers, Skene Whisky.

The iconic Charles Maclean got his hands on our bottle and produced these tasting notes…

On the nose, notes of honeycomb, cinder toffee and soft chocolate emerge. The palate is creamy and warming, developing into a gently spiced, elegant finish – reflecting both the richness of the cask and the quiet influence of long maturation.

Our Skene Reserve release was distilled in 2011 and bottled for us this year, 2026 from cask #90017.
