Summary

White Heather 15 Year Old is a 46% ABV, naturally coloured and non-chill-filtered blended Scotch crafted by master blender Billy Walker. It combines Speyside, Islay and Highland single malts with grain whisky, then uses bourbon and sherry casks followed by Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso and American virgin oak for secondary maturation. Its style balances honeyed, citrus-led sweetness and confectionery notes with restrained peat smoke.

Interesting Facts

• The blend has an unusually high malt content and includes aged GlenAllachie malt plus peated Islay single malt.
• Its dual maturation starts in bourbon and sherry casks before the blended whisky is re-racked into Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso and American virgin oak casks.
• It is bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and without chill filtration.
