The Balvenie Week of Peat 17 Year Old, is the latest addition to the brands Stories range; a collection of single malts that celebrates human stories of endeavour and unexpected twists, as told by its craftsmen at the distillery in Dufftown, Scotland.
The Week of Peat, is an evolution of The Balvenie Peat Week
Aged 14 Years, which launched globally in 2019. It was originally inspired by
distillery manager Ian Millar installing a peat burner at Balvenie. For one
week each year, the distillery creates peated whisky using Speyside peat, the
result is said to be a classic Balvenie expression, balancing sweet peat smoke
with notes of citrus and honey.
Commenting on the launch, Gemma Paterson, Global Brand Ambassador
for The Balvenie, said: “The Balvenie Distillery is built on the stories that
are told from one generation of craftsmen to the next. The Week of Peat 17 year
old is a great example of this and is a classic Balvenie with added smoky,
peaty notes underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie
This is a limited release that is sure to excite fans of The Balvenie and
single malt drinkers in general.”
The Balvenie Week of Peat 17 Year Old, is now available from
clinkspirit.com for a RRP of £115.00.
