Balvenie 14 Year Old The Week of Peat Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 48.3%

Balvenie The Week of Peat 14 Year Old is a unique single malt from Speyside, produced during a special annual period when the distillery uses peated malt. This limited production run adds a gentle smokiness to Balvenie’s traditionally sweet and honeyed style, creating a distinctive balance between peat and elegance.

The whisky is aged for 14 years and bottled at 48.3% ABV, offering a richer mouthfeel and depth. On the nose, it presents soft sweet peat, floral notes, honey, and hints of buttery shortbread. The palate is smooth and rounded, with restrained peat smoke complemented by citrus, vanilla, and floral honey. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering warmth and subtle spice.

This expression is part of Balvenie’s Stories series, which highlights moments of innovation and tradition at the distillery. The Week of Peat reflects the influence of Islay-style whiskies while maintaining Balvenie’s Speyside character, making it a compelling choice for both peat lovers and fans of nuanced single malts.

Distillery Bottling
This is the second bottling in the new range: The Week of Peat

Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.

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.
