Balvenie Peated Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old

Colour

Radiant golden amber with honeyed warmth and a subtle coppery glow, deep and luminous.

Nose

Delicate peat smoke mingles with warm honeyed barley, unfolding vanilla and toffee from the sherry cask. Subtle oak spice, toasted almond, and orange zest lift the bouquet, while a touch of sea air adds a maritime lift. A refined, creamy aroma that promises smoky sweetness rather than harsh rigor.

Palate

Silky and honeyed on the palate, orchard fruit and malt give way to nuanced peat smoke and sea salt. Balvenie’s vanilla and toffee weave through a soft spice, supported by warm oak. The peat intensifies mid-palate, finishing with a long, refined smoke that lingers with sweetness and caramel.

Finish

An enduring, satin finish of gentle peat smoke that lingers over dusky sherry sweetness. Hints of fig and raisin drift through vanilla and leather, while warm spices rise and fade into toasted oak. The finish tapers with a chocolate-dry, ember-soft afterglow that coats the palate with lasting complexity.
