Balvenie Peat Week 1st Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 2002 Vintage
Out of stock
The result of trials undertaken by Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart MBE and ex-distillery boss Ian Miller, the 2002 vintage aged entirely in American oak casks, resulting in a whisky characterised by peat smoke, oaky vanilla and light floral notes.
This has all the classic Balvenie richness but with a subtle and gentle woody smoke, that really adds a layer of complexity to the sweet vanilla and toffee flavours.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
A refined peat smoke drifts across creamy vanilla and toffee, with touches of oak and delicate floral notes. Balvenie’s signature richness glows, yet the smoke remains gentle, adding quiet depth and elegant complexity to the aroma.
Palate
Rich and refined, the palate opens with peat smoke embracing creamy vanilla and toffee, tempered by American oak. A gentle woody smoke threads through light floral notes, delivering a silky, velvety mouthfeel. The sweetness lingers with vanilla and toffee, lightly spiced, and a refined, lingering finish of smoke.
Finish
Long and refined, peat smoke clings and slowly fades into creamy vanilla and toffee, with a gentle oak echo and a whisper of delicate floral sweetness.
