The Balvenie Stories Week of Peat 17 Year Old (49.4% ABV) single malt scotch whisky results from a patient and careful monitoring process to reach a perfect balance of peat and signature Balvenie flavour notes - unmistakable honey, citrus and notes of peat smoke. This is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky from The Balvenie Distillery, available in a 70cl bottle ready for gifting.

The Week Of Peat story begins with distillery manager Ian Millar’s eagle eye spotting a weeks gap in the distillery schedule. Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, he ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln and built a peat burner on the side "for, well, extra peatiness". The whisky produced is rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smoke. Aged for 17 years, the gentle smoke and vanilla sweetness is the perfect finish.

The Balvenie Distillery is built on age-old traditions and stories which are passed on from one generation of craftsmen to the next. The Balvenie Stories are a range of exclusive single malt whiskies, each representing tales of character, endeavour and craft.
