The Balvenie - Stories #2 - The Week of Peat 14Yr Whisky

The second bottling in The Balvenie Stories collection, and a welcome return to a slightly peated Balvenie. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated Speyside malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.

This 14-year-old heavily-peated single malt is the second whisky in the Balvenie Stories collection – a sweet and smoky whisky that balances earthy peat smoke with the distillery’s characteristic citrus edge. Gentle peat smoke, delicate flowers and sweet butterscotch fill the nose, while the palate initially offers notes of sharp citrus, blossom honey, creamy vanilla and rich, earthy peat.

The Balvenie Stories collection is designed to bring to life the tales of ’character, endeavour and craft’ of those at Balvenie through the generations. The Week of Peat is inspired by the tradition, started in 2002, of distilling peated malt for only one week every year.

Nose:
Gentle sweet peat smoke, lighter floral notes and delicate butterscotch honey.

Palate:
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.
