Description

The Balvenie Week of Peat 14 Years Whisky

The Balvenie Week of Peat 14 Years Whisky is a unique expression from the famous Speyside distillery, crafted during their annual "Peat Week." Traditionally known for their smooth, honeyed single malts, Balvenie uses this special time each year to create a subtly smoky whisky, influenced by Speyside peat. Aged for 14 years, this whisky strikes a balance between The Balvenie’s signature sweetness and a gentle, lingering smokiness, making it a standout for lovers of peated yet elegant Scotch.

Production details: During Peat Week, The Balvenie distills their whisky with locally sourced peat, adding a soft smokiness to the malt. After distillation, this whisky is aged for 14 years in American oak casks, allowing the smoke to meld beautifully with the distillery’s characteristic notes of honey, vanilla, and orchard fruits. The result is a balanced single malt with layers of sweet and smoky complexity.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate the balance of sweet and smoky flavors, or with a few drops of water to enhance the subtler smoky and fruity notes. This whisky pairs well with smoked meats, rich cheeses, or dark chocolate to complement its gentle peat influence.

Additional information: The Balvenie Week of Peat 14 Years offers a rare opportunity to experience peat in a Speyside whisky, where subtle smoke meets the distillery’s signature smoothness. It’s a must-try for fans of peated Scotch looking for something a little softer, but still rich in character.
