The Balvenie The Week of Peat 17
The Balvenie The Week of Peat 17
A peated Balvenie expression distilled one week a year at The Balvenie. Rich honey, vanilla and citrus notes a subtle layer of smokiness.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
“In a way, The Week of Peat was nothing new. In fact, arguably, it’s the only week of the year we make whisky the way it used to be made – using smoke from a heavily peated furnace, like in the very old days when every farm burned peat from the land (and made whisky in a pot over the fire, it’s worth remembering)."
THE TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
Gentle sweet peat smoke, lighter floral notes and delicate butterscotch honey.
-
Taste
Velvety and round to taste with the peat smoke balancing citrus flavours, oaky vanilla and blossom honey.
-
Finish
Gentle smoke with a lingering and creamy vanilla sweetness.
