Comprising three single malts, The Balvenie Stories range includes 12 Year Old The Sweet Toast of American Oak, 14 Year Old The Week of Peat and 26 Year Old A Day of Dark Barley.
A Week of Peat is a reincarnation of Balvenie Peat Week, a 14-year-old, heavily-peated malt which was launched globally in October 2017.
While the recipe remains the same, the 48.3% abv expression, which has notes of ‘gentle sweet peat smoke, citrus flavours, oaky vanilla and blossom honey’, has been renamed to fit into the new Balvenie Stories collection.
Nose: Gentle sweet peat smoke with light floral notes and a delicate butterscotch honey.
Palate: Well rounded with the peat smoke balancing citrus flavours, oaky vanilla and blossom honey.
Finish: Gentle smoke with a lingering and creamy vanilla sweetness.
Whiskey fun has scored this Balvenie 14 Year Old Stories Week of Peat 85/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations.
A reviewer said it was ‘extremely soft, clearly peaty but otherwise much rounded, vanilla-ed, and full of preserved fruits.’
