The Balvenie The Week Of Peat 14 Year

The Balvenie The Week of Peat 14 Year is a distinctive Speyside single malt that captures an unexpected smoky side of The Balvenie while preserving its signature honeyed elegance. Produced during a special week each year when peat is used to dry the malted barley, this whisky opens with gentle peat smoke intertwined with floral honey, vanilla, and toasted malt. Subtle notes of citrus peel, fresh herbs, and light oak add complexity, creating an inviting nose that balances smoke with sweetness rather than overpowering it.

On the palate, soft waves of earthy peat are complemented by creamy toffee, honeycomb, and vanilla custard, followed by hints of green apple, lemon zest, and warm baking spices. The smoke remains refined and measured, allowing the underlying Speyside character to shine through. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving behind delicate peat embers, sweet malt, and a touch of oak spice, making this a well-rounded and approachable peated whisky.
