The Burnside 18 Years 2006 is an exclusive blended malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, bottled by The Alba Trail . Produced in 2006 and bottled in 2024, this whisky was matured for 18 years in a first fill sherry hogshead, giving it a deep complexity and rich flavours. With an alcohol content of 49.5% vol., it is presented without chill filtration and in natural colour.

Under the trade name "Burnside", barrels from the Balvenie Distillery are offered to which a minimal amount of another malt has been added (so-called "teaspooned" malt), which classifies the whisky as a blended malt. This practice gives the Burnside 18 Years 2006 its unique characteristics and makes it a special recommendation for lovers of sherry-matured whiskies.
