The Balvenie 14 Year Old Week of Peat

The Balvenie 14 Year Old Week of Peat (Story No. 2) is a rare and characterful single malt crafted during the one week each year that The Balvenie distills peated malt. First introduced in 2002, this tradition captures a unique moment in the distillery’s calendar, producing a whisky where gentle Highland peat smoke meets the signature sweetness and citrus brightness of The Balvenie.

This 14-year-old expression opens with aromas of soft, sweet peat smoke layered with delicate floral notes and creamy butterscotch honey. On the palate, it delivers a velvety balance of smoky earthiness, vibrant citrus, blossom honey, and oaky vanilla. The finish lingers with gentle smoke and a smooth, creamy vanilla sweetness—showcasing both peat character and Speyside elegance.

Part of The Balvenie Stories collection, this release celebrates the people, craft, and real-life memories behind the distillery’s most iconic whiskies. Week of Peat tells the story of experimentation, tradition, and the skill of balancing smoke with refined sweetness.
