The Balvenie A Day Of Dark Barley is story no.3 in the Balvenie Stories Series. It's a heavier, darker Balvenie, flavoured with the richness of over-roasted malted barley, oak, honey, vanilla and citrus notes. The arrival at the distillery of a batch of dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, marked the beginning of a 26 year long experiment. The result was a pleasing depth, smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours.
