Balvenie The Week Of The Peat : Smoky Speyside Sophistication

Balvenie The Week Of The Peat is a unique expression from the renowned Speyside distillery, crafted during the one week each year when Balvenie distills peated malt. This limited-production single malt offers a rare glimpse into the world of gently smoked Scotch, blending the distillery’s signature honeyed character with a layer of aromatic peat. Aged for 14 years in American oak casks, this whisky showcases the perfect balance between soft sweetness and warming smoke.

On the nose, it opens with gentle peat smoke and rich vanilla, layered with citrus zest, green apple, and a touch of heather. The palate is silky and complex, featuring flavors of creamy toffee, delicate spice, oak, and a restrained yet persistent smokiness. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of sweet smoke, malted biscuit, and a wisp of pepper.

This single malt is part of Balvenie’s “Stories” range and reflects a creative departure from the distillery’s usual unpeated style. Using Highland peat, known for its grassy and floral qualities, the whisky maintains Balvenie’s elegance while introducing a smoky nuance that is both inviting and refined. The entire process from malting to maturation is overseen at the distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, ensuring consistency and craftsmanship.

Balvenie The Week Of The Peat is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to enhance its layered complexity. It pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, aged cheddar, or chargrilled vegetables, and also makes an excellent after-dinner dram alongside dark chocolate or roasted nuts.
