DISCOVER THE WHITE HEATHER
“Blending must rely entirely on instinct and experience. You have to let your senses lead the way. However, once the blend is created, science allows you to understand why it tastes and smells the way it does. By scientifically analysing the interaction between the spirit and the oak, I can determine the direction of my next experiment.”
- Billy Walker, Master Blender.

To create White Heather 21-year-old, Master Blender Billy Walker crafted a unique recipe with an unusually high single malt content, including vintage GlenAllachie. The blend was then laid down for an additional maturation period, spending three years in a carefully selected mix of Pedro Ximénez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons and Appalachian Virgin Oak casks to let the flavours marry together and take on additional layers of depth and complexity from the wood.
