Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle peat smoke, honey, a sweet maltiness. The smoke is unmistakably Balvenie — lighter, sweeter, more honeyed than Islay or Highland peat. Beneath the smoke, vanilla, dried apricot and a gentle oak warmth. Intriguing and balanced.

Palate

Gently smoky and honeyed — peat, toffee, a gentle fruit sweetness. The Balvenie house character — honeyed, rich, bourbon-cask sweetness — is still recognisable beneath the smoke, creating a peated malt of unusual elegance. Mid-palate brings dried fruit, a gentle spice and a clean malty warmth.

Finish

Medium-long, with gentle peat smoke and honey lingering together beautifully.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Balvenie's annual peated production — a week of peat-fired barley creating a rare smoky Speyside.
