For one week each year, Speyside's Balvenie distillery mixes things up, switching from its usual unpeated style, to producing peated single malt with Speyside peat! Inspired by his findings on a trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar initiated the annual project, proving that it's not all about Islay when it comes to splendid peated whisky. The classic honeyed sweetness of this deliciously rich malt brings marvellous balance to layers of elegant smoke.
Sweet peat and floral honey mingle, with roasted malt and buttery fudge in tow.
A generous balance of vanilla and oak char welcome the way for more hearty smoke. Things remain sweet, with silky butterscotch and baking spice.
The peat smoke lingers with delicately floral malt, poached fruits, creamy, oaken vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon.
