About this deal

It’s storied history is full of experimentation, a spirit of curiosity that has been passed down through the generations.

The classic honeyed sweetness of this deliciously rich malt brings marvellous balance to layers of elegant smoke. Ian Millar, Distillery Manager, was eager to use his learnings from a trip to Islay to experiment with The Balvenie flavour profile.You can see [that] the additional three years [of ageing] have mellowed out the peat even more,” she explained at a virtual launch event for the whisky held earlier this month. Taking inspiration from the Isle of Islay this whisky has been created using peated malt before being matured for 17 years in oak casks. From the popular Speyside distillery, Balvenie, this 17 year old from the Stories Range, The Week Of Peat, references when Balvenie trialled drying barley with peat for the first time, during a week long gap in the distillery’s production schedule in 2002. In the mash house there was a beautiful smell of porridge, sweet honey and gentle smoke; it was good enough to bottle!

The extra three years in ex-bourbon casks has mellowed out the peat beautifully in this 17-year-old, yet retains its complexity, as the craftsmanship in maturation and use of traditional malting floors shines through. The Balvenie The Week of Peat 17 year old leaves you with a finish of ashy sweet peat and light lingering floral oil. ABV) single malt scotch whisky results from a patient and careful monitoring process to reach a perfect balance of peat and signature Balvenie flavour notes - unmistakable honey, citrus and notes of peat smoke. You have to take your time to nose it and taste it; I think it’s a really wonderful example of The Balvenie.The first time we did it, there was a real buzz on-site – engineers, coppersmiths and other team members came and had a look as they had never experienced the production of peated, malted barley before.
