Balvenie 17 Year Old Week of Peat Story #2

Crafted at the historic Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside, this 17 Year Old expression represents a unique chapter in the distillery’s storied history – the second release in the ‘Week of Peat’ trilogy. Distilled with a characteristically sweet and honeyed spirit, it gains a subtle smokiness from a single week each year when Speyside peat is used to dry the barley. This limited practice imparts a delicate, earthy complexity to the whisky, balancing Balvenie’s signature golden honey notes with a whisper of peat smoke, bottled at a robust 49.4% ABV. The result is a richly layered single malt showcasing both tradition and innovative spirit.
