Balvenie 2003 Peat Week American Oak 48.3% 700ml information

Until recently, the only peated Balvenie we had were the long-gone limited edition Balvenie Peated Cask 17 Year Old and the Islay Cask 17 Year Old. But the situation has changed recently with the release of two new peated Balvenies, both 14-year-old expressions. The first is a Triple Cask 14 Year Old for the Travel Retail market, and the second is the globally released 14-year-old named Peat Week. During Peat Week, Balvenie distillery produces peated whisky for one week a year, but not every year.

Today at Balvenie distillery, they burn peat to dry their barley, as they have always done. For one week every year, they use heavily peated barley to make their spirit. The week designated as 'Peat Week' changes each year. This particular expression is aged for 14 years exclusively in American Oak barrels and is non-chill filtered. Bottled at an ABV of 48.3%, the Balvenie 2003 Peat Week American Oak offers a unique profile that combines the traditional Speyside character with a remarkable peaty twist.

The balance on this whisky is excellent, featuring a fruity and floral nose with hints of orange zest, red fruit, and chamomile, all mingling with peat smoke, reminiscent of charred wet wood. On the palate, it offers a sharp arrival, transitioning from fruity and smoky notes to hints of wet wood, with a balance between softer fruity Speyside notes and almost Islay-like smoke. The finish is earthy and lingering, with syrupy smokiness and a touch of peppery spice.

Balvenie 2003 Peat Week American Oak is a little gem that perfectly balances the sweet, fruity notes characteristic of Speyside whiskies with a bold, earthy peatiness reminiscent of Islay malts. While it may be a bit on the expensive side, it is fully rewarding for its complex and well-balanced flavor profile, making it a worthy addition to any whisky enthusiast's collection.
