Tasting Notes
The Balvenie Peat Week Aged 14 Year Old is a unique expression from the renowned Speyside distillery, offering a delightful fusion of classic Speyside character and gentle peat smoke. The nose greets you with a delightful bouquet of floral and tropical fruit notes, complemented by hints of almonds and honey, before unveiling a subtle veil of peat smoke. On the palate, the whisky delights with a harmonious blend of citrusy vanilla, juicy peach, and luscious honey, gracefully intertwined with a gentle, almost floral peat smoke that sets it apart from the intense peatiness of Islay whiskies. The finish lingers with a soft, creamy embrace, leaving a lasting impression of this unique and expertly crafted dram. Crafted through the collaborative efforts of Malt Master David Stewart MBE and Prestige Whiskies Specialist Ian Millar, this expression celebrates the art of experimentation and showcases the distillery's mastery of balancing tradition with innovation.
