Balvenie 17yo The Week of Peat 49.4% 700ml information

The Balvenie 17 Year Old "The Week of Peat" is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the esteemed Speyside region, renowned for its delicate and complex flavor profiles. This particular expression is a part of "The Balvenie Stories" collection, celebrated for narrating the unique tales behind each release. A notable tribute to the traditional craftsmanship of Balvenie, this whisky also exemplifies the distillery's innovative spirit. Every year, for a single week, Balvenie embraces a creative approach by producing peated malt, giving birth to this remarkable whisky.

Inspired by manager Ian Millar's visit to Islay breweries, this whisky is distilled during the rare week when Balvenie employs peated malt. It is then matured for an impressive 17 years in American oak casks and bottled at a robust 49.4% ABV without chill filtration, ensuring that its natural flavors remain intact. The outcome is a classic Balvenie expression that harmoniously balances sweet peat smoke with delightful notes of citrus and honey.

Released in 2021, "The Week of Peat" stands as the second release in the Stories series. It captures the essence of the distillery's dedication to producing a distinctly peated malt for one week each year, resulting in a distinctively unique Balvenie. The previous 14 releases have set a high standard, and this 17-year-old expression proudly continues that legacy.

The nose of this whisky presents a rich and harmonious blend of peat smoke, heather, and orange peel. Upon tasting, it reveals a smooth and well-rounded profile featuring creamy vanilla, smoky wood, citrus, honey, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and smoky, with lingering hints of vanilla, honey, and citrus sweetness.

In summary, the Balvenie 17 Year Old "The Week of Peat" is a unique and exceptional whisky that expertly combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques, resulting in a distinct peaty flavor profile. It is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast seeking a complex and balanced taste experience.
