The bottle presented in a golden tin, Aberfeldy 12 is a fruity, clean and polished malt with a touch of honey and spice. An excellent introduction to this Highland distillery. Aberfeldy’s main claim to fame is as the heart of the excellent Dewar’s blend but whiskies like this are putting it firmly in the spotlight.
Absolut 72 Bian, featuring the work of young Chinese artist Gao Yu, was our first limited edition bottle for China.
Gao Yu’s design was inspired by the ancient Chinese fable, “Journey to the West,” a heroic story about the monkey king Sun Wukong who acquires the power to undergo 72 transformations (or 72 bian). Using his fearlessness and creativity, he is able to overcome all obstacles.
As 2010 is the year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar, Mr. Gao added tiger stripes to the monkey king’s face as a nod to the traditions.
Despite our geographical distance and cultural differences, we can genuinely relate to the history of an icon, in constant transformation, making progress by being bold and creative.

When we confirmed our collaboration with Berlin-based American artist Zhivago Duncan, we were hoping for one of his beautifully messy and anarchic pieces of art. And there was not a single splash of disappointment.
Duncan’s design turns the iconic Absolut bottle into a window looking onto one of Berlin’s own iconic Monuments – the Fernsehturm. The bottle features a magnified image of the Fernsehturm’s famous sphere, with aDick Flashquote done graffiti-style: “Es ist nicht einfach immer ein Rebell zu sein” – “It’s not easy to always be a rebel.” A perfect expression of the spirit of a city that has long been at the forefront of contemporary art and culture.
The color palette reflects aspects of Duncan’s own experience of Berlin: gray for the old cement structures, green for the urban forests, turquoise for the oxidation of old statues, cadmium yellow for the golden bricks during a Berlin summer sunset, and pink for the sunrise after a long night out engaging the city and its people.
Duncan never shies away from pushing the boundaries in his artistic expression. Something we can relate to. This collaboration was special to us.
Imagine a sensory encounter with the perfect berry mix taste; fresh blueberry native to Europe and North America, fruity pomegranate from Southwest Asia, and smooth açaí from South America. Now, imagine these blended in Absolut Vodka. And served chilled over ice. Sing with me – All Together Now!
After the Absolut Blank campaign, where 20 artists had complete creative freedom to redesign the iconic bottle shape, we were able to continue the campaign through Mario Wagner and his space-inspired artwork.
Wagner’s design’s visual language is based on the 1960s – an era characterized by the race to the moon and the legendary moon landing. To ensure visual continuity, he used some elements that were also part of his designs for the Absolut Blank campaign.
Continuing this campaign with such a custom bottle was honestly not part of the original plan – but when a project evolves into something new, why on earth would we hold back on a space-themed limited edition?

The explosion of bright colors and darker hues embodies Dave Kinsey’s unique balance between his roots in street artistry and extraordinary skills in fine art. A delicate flower, calmly placed in the center of the vibrancy and energy of the city. The interaction, and sometimes the struggle between the urban and the natural. Stunning.
Absolut Kinsey came as part of the Absolut Blank Campaign, where 20 artists from different parts of the world within different fields of artistic expression, were to fill our iconic bottle with their unrestrained creative power.
It was the broad spectra of Dave Kinsey’s skills that made his motif stand out on a blank canvas as well as on the shelf. So we decided to put it there.
To understand Tel Aviv, one must walk its streets. So Israeli artist Nir Peled, aka Pilpeled, gave us a tour – in his own, very distinguished and magnificent way.
Inspired by the landscape of the Nordau, Rothschild and Chen boulevards, the two-sided set design offers a window peek into Tel Aviv’s boulevard at night, symbolising the energy in your whole surrounding, so strong you can feel it.
Absolut Pilpeled was part of the Absolut Blank campaign, where 20 artists where given total creative freedom within our iconic bottle shape.

What do you get for a country’s 150th birthday? A limited edition Absolut bottle sounded like an ideal gift from us.
Much like Absolut, Canada has a long history of diversity, inclusiveness and innovation. So to help us celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, we sought someone who exemplifies those same values to collaborate with us on a limited edition Absolut bottle – Canadian textile artist Libs Elliott.
An innovator at heart, Libs is famous for creating unique quilts using age-old methods blended with cutting edge technology. Each quilt ends up being a one-of-a-kind variation of colour, shapes and fabric – a fitting metaphor for Canada. “We’re also all these different pieces, shapes and colours,” says Libs, “with different beliefs, customs and values – but we all somehow fit together.”
Her Absolut Canada bottle design – created through the same process as her quilt-making – features traditional Canadian motifs and colours to reflect the pride we all shared in this special anniversary. It was also a fitting way for Absolut to celebrate Canada’s rich heritage while looking forward to what lies ahead of us.
Happy birthday Canada! Here’s to 150 years of forward thinking.

The Chicago blues, jazz, soul, and gospel. The origin of house music and the melting pot of hip hop. Chicago has always known how to source a crowd in the name of creativity, passion and energy.
When we turned to Chicago for our upcoming launch within the Cities series, we wanted to step into that house, wrap our bottle around that soul and be part of that crowd.
So we teamed up with the modern crowd sourcers – the Chicago-based online design communityThreadless. Pioneers in community-driven design and best known for their acclaimed T-shirt designs, Threadless’s membership model routinely invites work from members, which is then voted on, with the winning designs produced.
The top contribution made byRoss Bruggink, was a humorous, creative, edgy and well-thought through design, with local details for local appeal. We couldn’t be happier.
Absolut Chicago was truly a flavor for the crowd – by the crowd. And we are proud to have played a tiny part of its ongoing history.
Speaking of flavor; Absolut Chicago was an olive- and rosemary-flavored vodka, smooth and mellow with a well-balanced spiciness – making it perfect for classics like the Dirty Martini.

The rainbow flag. A proud champion of love and freedom of expression. A symbol that unites liberated minds, that encourages people to be who they are.
Absolut Colors. A true belief that everyone has the right to express themselves in any way possible. Love whomever you want to love. Be who you are.
For this limited edition it only made sense to collaborate with artist Gilbert Baker, one of the most prominent forces of the modern LGBT movement and designer of the original rainbow flag back in 1978. Dressed in the Pride flag, the Absolut Colors bottle design was both a nod to our long-standing support for the LGBT community as well as a pledge to continue our support for equality.
Inspiring the world to see how all love is equal, Absolut created a short film documenting a surprise proposal from one lover, Amanda, to another, Paige. We took them back to the beach where they had their first date. A series of clues lead to a proposal of a lifetime. A beautiful memory was preserved forever.
Absolut Colors manifested the important message of solidarity, love and respect for diversity.
Absolut believes #loveislove. And that love is all you need.

Bitter Cherry: an authentic cherry flavour, countered by notes of bitter, dark chocolate.
Matching these sophisticated new flavors, we gave the Absolut Craft bottles a subtle silver-grey metallic coating, inspired by Victorian medicine flasks.

One of the many wonderful limited edition presentations of Absolut Vodka – the Electrik bottlings are very shiny indeed, presented in a colbalt blue and a metallic silver.
The Electrik bottles are the 2015 end-of-the-year edition.
Absolut Electrik contains the same Swedish vodka as a bottle of Absolut Vodka. It is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. In fact, Absolut is as clean as vodka can be. Still, it has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. All absolut is made in the same distillery, with wheat from the same fields, and water from our own deep well.
Absolut Electrik follows a celebrated tradition of introducing end of year limited editions featuring cutting-edge designs. The twin bottle release is available in electrik blue and silver, with semi-transparent coating creating see-through reflections. The two colors represent Absolut’s signature cobalt blue and the electrical conductivity of silver. When combined, the colors reflect an Electrik aesthetic reminiscent of flashing lights and pumping beats.

Let’s print photographs directly on to our bottle,” we said.
“That’s never been done before,” they said.
Precisely.
For this limited edition we didn’t make one bottle design, but three. Visionary Swedish artist, Johan Renck, photographed supermodel, Lydia Hearst, as three different personas — Carter, Trojan and Dimitty — each persona designed to illustrate the multifaceted nature of every individual. And so began Absolut Exposure.
Constantly pushing ourselves to stay innovative and creative, we developed a ground-breaking technique allowing us to print photographs directly on to our famous glass bottle.
We didn’t stop with the outside of the bottle. A new-generation flavor crafted with honey melon and lemongrass rounded off this limited edition.
Revealed at the world-famous New York New York restaurant in Cannes, The Absolut Exposure trilogy was available exclusively to travellers throughout the global duty free/travel retail market.
For Absolut Exposure, three was the magic number.
You know those nights out when you have no expectations whatsoever, and they turned out to be the experience of a lifetime? Or those unexpected turns of events that still feel surreal when you wake up the next morning?
Absolut Facet, the blue bottle with its asymmetrical design, is a manifestation of those moments — how the best nights happen out of the blue. The round edges of the bottle have been cut into like a gem, creating a number of facets reflecting the light in unique ways symbolizing the many directions a night out can take you.
To celebrate the unplanned and spontaneous, we collaborated with Spotify to develop the digital platform Discover, a service generating unexpected playlists based on the combined music taste of your friends. Depending on the mood of the tune, we tuned our recommendations of Absolut drinks to help get in that mood.
A series of films were rolled out, depicting various unforgettable and unexpected nights from different individual perspectives. Whether it’s making new, or bonding even closer to existing friends, these connections are the root of all memorable nights and the core message Absolut Facet was going for.
The global launch of the approximately two and a half million Absolut Facet bottles was held in Amsterdam, in collaboration with the Amsterdam Dance Event in October 2016
We are proud to present our latest limited edition bottle, Absolut Facet.
It symbolizes the different and unexpected angles of nightlife, encouraging your nights to become #AbsolutNights The best things happen out of the blue.
This was the first time we challenged the bottle shape by modifying the finish of the glass. Absolut Glimmer was a glimmering version of our iconic bottle, re-designed to dazzle people in any place with the crystal pattern-shaped glass that, when placed in various light conditions, would appear different as it reacted to the light.
Absolut Glimmer containing Absolut Vodka Original was launched in more than 100 markets worldwide.
Absolut Grapefruit, sibling to our other citrus flavors Absolut Citron and Absolut Lime, is one of our talented newcomers. With its well-balanced sweetness and fruity taste, we just know this will become one of your new Absolut favorites if you haven’t had the chance to try it yet. In our opinion, The Swedish Paloma is an instant classic, but we won’t hold a grudge should you find your own favorite. Pinky swear.
Wait. What?
With Absolut Illusion, we got playful. A limited edition bottle that inspired embracing the unexpected and to challenge perspectives in an innovative way.
At first glance it looked just like our classic Absolut Original bottle. On closer inspection some trickery was afoot.
Tilt it. Turn it. The Absolut Illusion label undergoes a playful transition where the liquid is used to magnify and mirror the logo, creating the illusion of the label floating in the Absolut Vodka inside the bottle. From some angles the logo seems to be moving around in the bottle of its own accord.
Real magic or just an illusion? And now for our next trick…

Absolut Karnival paid tribute to the colourful and larger-than-life character of Latin America’s carnival scene. To truly capture this feeling who better to turn to than artist and writer, Rafael Grampá. His work is disruptive, lively and authentic and not only is he a native of Brazil, he’s had first-hand experience of the Carnival atmosphere his entire life.
This limited edition’s final artwork featured a cast of colorful characters on parade around the bottle. A dog dressed up as a rooster, a blue-faced giant happy to give a hug to whoever wants one, a beautiful “Queenfish”, and “The Freedom Knight” – a character Grampá describes as “a typical festival-goer who fights taboos and prejudice with joy and music.”
The taste of Karnival? This limited edition spirit shone with a tropical aroma of passion fruit and orange blossom. These rich, smooth, fresh and tropical flavors was combined to evoke some of the magic of carnival.
Our first limited edition for Latin America, Absolut Karnival was only available exclusively at local carnival festivals.
A litre bottle of Karnival, a limited-edition Absolut. The label has been designed by Brazilian graphic novel artist Rafael Grampá. Flavoured with passion fruit and orange blossom, this is a fruity number that evokes memories of warmer climes.

Ok yes, it’s Jamie Hewlett.
Alongside the limited edition bottle we rolled out “The Spirit of London” microsite – an online space that provided back-stories for each character featured on the bottle and also encouraged users explore London’s cultural heritage through the ages.
Absolut London proved a hit when it launched, it sold-out almost immediately. You didn’t get one? It’s OK. Keep calm and carry on looking.

The seven characters encapsulate the city?s diverse heritage, spanning the ages from Dickensian and 18th Century Dandy, through to Pinstripe gent, 60’s chick, Ska, Punk and 80’s Casual.
Absolut was thrilled to work with Jeronimo Lopez Ramirez, the contemporary artist and tattooist also known as Dr Lakra, to pay homage to Mexican culture and the country’s multicultural heritage.
Dr Lakra managed to breathe life into the spirit of Mexico through a design featuring threefundamental symbols of Mayan culture – the god Hurakan, as wind, storm and fire, Kukulkan,the feathered serpent deity and Balam the invincible jaguar warrior who illuminated the Earth during day and fought in the underworld at night.
The Absolut bottle served as a medium by which a contemporary artist has reintroduced ancestral symbols, fusioning the past and the now beautifully torepresent Mexico today.
Released in 2013, the new special edition Absolut Mexico is exclusive to the Mexican market. However, For this special edition, Absolut has collaborated with world-renowned Mexican artist Dr. Lakra.

Palm trees, flamingos, music and martini glasses. When designing this passion fruit and orange blossom flavored vodka, we wanted to take you on an adventure from dusk till dawn through the city, the sunny beaches, the vibrant nightlife and the never-ending parties defining the hot spot that is Miami. Looking at the end result, we’d like to think we succeeded.
Apart from the usual – but unexpectedly spectacular Absolut parties (if we may brag a bit), Absolut Miami played host to a number of events and artistic experiences throughout the city, inviting Miamians to join in the celebration and further extending the design concept of “from dusk till dawn”.
We have much love for the Sunshine State and the city of energy. There’s even a bottle to prove that.
Sophistication, elegance and premium quality are attributes that characterize Absolut Vodka.

Since the early 90’s, we have had the privilege of collaborating with fashion designers such asTom Ford and Versace, Stella McCartney and Gaultier. With Absolut Mode, we wanted to further strengthen our commitment to the world of fashion and reflect its diversity by launching this twelve facet bottle in collaboration with three leading names from the contemporary fashion scene.
The campaign, featuring supermodel Shannan Click, was shot by renowned fashion photographer Sharif Hamza. To celebrate the launch of Absolut Mode Edition, we also collaborated with leading fashion designerGareth Pugh, who dressed the bottle in an amazing outfit.
To capture the unique bottle design that is wrapped with a band in midnight blue silk cloth with text embroidery, Sharif Hamza built a large version of the bottle with mirror facets. He placed supermodel Shannan Click within the bottle and dressed her in midnight blue creation. The shoot resulted in one of the most fashionable campaigns Absolut has ever made.
Gareth Pugh’s reflection of fashion is showcased through a unique handmade bottle collar, which sits perfectly on the bottle. Inspired by the “Stealth Bomber” arms from his Spring/Summer 2007 show, Pugh’s bottle collar enhances the silhouette of Absolut Mode, while simultaneously capturing the essence of Pugh’s impressive work.

Absolut Orient Apple is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike some other flavored vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. Absolut Orient Apple is fresh and fruity with a distinct character of ripen red apples with a slight note of ginger.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Brännvin. Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. Absolut Orient Apple is made the same way, the only difference is the taste of ripen red apple and ginger. And, like the rest of the family, it’s produced in Åhus, L.O. Smith’s birth town. Since the process will never change, neither will the true taste of Absolut Orient Apple.
The main ingredients in Absolut Orient Apple are Absolut Vodka and ripen red apple and ginger flavor. Absolut Vodka is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it’s protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it’s sown one fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the apples and ginger are as natural as the rest of the ingredients.
Since the early 1980’s, we have been supporting the LGBTQ+ community as part of our strong belief that people should be free to love who they choose, and everyone should be free to express themselves.
Back in 2008 – for the 30th anniversary of the Pride Flag and our first Pride bottle – it only made sense to collaborate with artist and activist Gilbert Baker, one of the most prominent forces of the modern LGBTQ+ movement and designer of the original Rainbow flag back in 1978.
And in 2018, when Gilbert Baker’s rainbow flag was about to turn 40, we thought it was time for the Rainbow to get a permanent place in the Absolut family as a symbol and celebration of our long and strong support to the LGBTQ+ community.
This humble tribute to our late friend Gilbert Baker is filled with the closest thing we will ever get to such an immortal legend – Absolut Vodka Original.

To celebrate the very best of Rio de Janeiro, Absolut collaborated with the visionary Brazilian designer Oskar Metsavaht to transform the bottle by paying tribute to the essence and exceptional nature of the people of Rio de Janeiro, the ‘cariocas’.
Metsavaht took his inspiration from his own photos of Ipanema and brought it to the world of Absolut, adding the typical carioca elements such as sand, the sidewalk of Ipanema and the Dois Irmãos Mountain.
The exceptional taste of Absolut Rio includes a combination of tropical fruits – orange, mango and passion fruit.
Inspired by the sparkle and glamour of the night, Absolut Sequin’s coating uses high quality sequins which can be hand-flipped to a silver colour to create glittering messages and unlock creativity.
Absolut fans know that every special edition is fantastic, and so it is once again with the current edition Absolut Uncover. Behind the impressive appearance of this bottle hides the same high-quality Swedish premium vodka as in a normal bottle. Natural ingredients, no added sugar, and first-rate purity have made this one of the world’s favourite vodkas for good reason.
But let’s talk about the new design. At the end of the year, the Swedish brand always brings out great special editions to bring joy to its long-standing customers. With Absolut Uncover, the bottle recalls the night sky, with stars and fireworks. The eye-catching packaging puts the focus right on the bottle and the moment the party starts it becomes part of a special ritual.
Absolut Vodka is perfect for enjoying neat or in a variety of long drinks and cocktails. Treat yourself to an Absolut Mule, an Absolut Winter Drop or the Salty Absolut Sea Breeze. These recipes can be found on the manufacturer’s website – cheers!
Absolut Uncover is the End of the Year limited edition 2017.

Absolut Watermelon is a smooth watermelon flavored vodka infused with the sweet and distinctive taste of fresh watermelon juice.

An interesting bourbon with a unique twist – after the initial maturation it takes a leaf out of Scotch Whisky’s book and spends between 3 and 6 months finishing in port barrels. The more experimentation the better, we reckon, especially when it turns out something like this – marrying the sweet caramel and grain of bourbon with the rich sticky wine flavours of a port cask.

Matured for a decade under the Caribbean sun, Bacardi Diez Gran Reserva is a rich, fruity rum with notes of peaches, plums, overripe banana, pear and caramelised vanilla.
A rather rare sight on these shores, Bacardi Reserva Limitada rum was originally only available from the distillery’s gift shop! It’s made with a blend of well-aged Puerto Rican rums, resulting in a splendidly rich, complex flavour profile. Big notes of fruit, vibrant vanilla and spice, complimented by oodles of oak-y elements…
Baker’s Bourbon is a small batch, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey distilled and selected in the traditions of Baker Beam, grandnephew of the legendary Jim Beam. Today, Baker’s is still made using this very technique and is aged only in the most select rackhouses for a robust bourbon flavor with a silky, smooth finish. Carefully matured for exceptional quality, Baker’s Bourbon is distilled at a lower proof, then barreled and aged in small batches to allow the bourbon to extract more toasted nut, fruit, and vanilla flavor from the barrel wood. With an aroma of fruit, vanilla, and caramel and a finish that’s sweet, smooth, and medium-long, enjoy Baker’s neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan, an old fashioned, or in other bourbon-based cocktails.
A rare 1980s bottle of Ballantine’s 21 year old blended Scotch whisky presented in a handsome blue bottle.
A 70cl bottle of Ballantine’s popular 21 year old presented in a blue ceramic decanter. The Ballantine’s blends use up to fifty single malts and four grains, with Glenburgie and Miltonduff as the base malts.
“Ballantine’s 21 Year Old American Oak is the ultimate expression of American Oak cask influence. We use only rare and exquisite whiskies and nose each cask to ensure a balance between wood and whisky that results in a distinguished blend” said Ballantine’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop.
An updated botting of this classic blended Scotch whisky, thoroughly indulgent and fabulously delicious. A high proportion of the whiskies in the recipe have been matured in European oak casks, giving a nutty, dried fruit influence. Ballantine’s is renowned for smoothness, and this expression is an impeccable example.
The 30 year old is a superb blend from Ballantines. It won a Gold at the International Spirits Challenge and Jim Murray gave it 92 points.
An old special edition bottle of Ballantine’s Limited from Reserve Casks. This Ballantine’s Limited was a vatting of selected casks bottled for duty free and overseas markets and comes in an eye-catching deep blue glass flat bottle in a smart presentation box.
The reserve casks referred to on this Ballantine’s are specially selected single malt and grain whisky casks aged for longer than the normal Ballantine’s recipe, so this Ballantine’s Limited Edition should be richer and more complex in character than the standard releases.
Ballantine’s Limited is produced using the rarest stocks of malt and grain whiskies. This is creamy with rich vanilla and fresh fruit notes.

A great 10 year old from Balvenie. Founder’s Reserve is Whisky Magazine Recommended, Michael Jackson suggests this might be the most “honeyish of Speyside malts”.
This is a collectible bottling of Balvenie Founder’s Reserve 10 Year Old single malt, presented in a bottle that looks more like a Cognac bottle than a whisky one. Interestingly, unlike previous bottlings we’ve had of this style, this one has been bottled at 43% ABV instead of 40% ABV.

Released in 2013,The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill is a 12 year old single malt whisky, aged in a first fill, ex-bourbon cask. Almost all Scotch whisky is matured in casks previously used by Bourbon distillers. When brought to Scotland and used for the very first time they are known as ‘First Fill’.
Our Malt Master samples the aged whisky, cask by cask and selects only those characterised by sweetness and subtle vanilla oak to be bottled as The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill.

A creamy, sweet single malt, The Sweet Toast of American Oak is the first whisky in the Balvenie Stories collection. Finished in heavily-toasted virgin American oak casks from Kentucky, it is even fruitier than normal. Sweet, malty aromas of fudge, citrus and oaky vanilla mingle with spicy ginger and warm cinnamon on the nose. The palate initially offers notes of candied orange peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, developing slowly into flavours of melted brown sugar, blossom honey and rich oak spice.
The Balvenie Stories collection is designed to bring to life the tales of ‘character, endeavour and craft’ of those at Balvenie through the generations.

This 14-year-old heavily-peated single malt is the second whisky in the Balvenie Stories collection – a sweet and smoky whisky that balances earthy peat smoke with the distillery’s characteristic citrus edge. Gentle peat smoke, delicate flowers and sweet butterscotch fill the nose, while the palate initially offers notes of sharp citrus, blossom honey, creamy vanilla and rich, earthy peat.

The Balvenie Madeira Cask is a lively and summery single malt finished in casks previously which previously held Madeira wine.
In historic times, ships set sail filled with casks of Madeira wine around the New World. Throughout their journey, casks were exposed to the heat of the sun, naturally sweetening the wine it held.
Malt Master David C. Stewart has enjoyed times exploring the Madeira region and wines they produce, inspiring his experimentation of the cask type for finishing.
This is not the first time David has used Madeira casks – previous expressions have been of older ages. This release has a lighter, livelier character.

This Balvenie single malt was matured in a combination of heavily-peated whisky casks and new American oak barrels. It carries all the hallmark flavours that we’ve come to expect from this distillery, including honeycomb and nuts, accompanied by charred cinnamon, Nutella over warm toast and a delicious puff of smoke.

The Balvenie Stories Week of Peat 17 Year Old (49.4% ABV) results from a patient and careful monitoring process to reach a perfect balance of peat and signature Balvenie flavour notes – unmistakable honey, citrus and notes of peak smoke. This is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky from The Balvenie Distillery, available in a 70cl bottle ready for gifting.
The Week Of Peat story begins with distillery manager Ian Millar’s eagle eye spotting a weeks gap in the distillery schedule. Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, he ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln and built a peat burner on the side “for, well, extra peatiness”. The whisky produced is rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smoke.
The Balvenie Distillery is built on age-old traditions and stories which are passed on from one generation of craftsmen to the next. The Balvenie Stories are a range of exclusive single malt whiskies, each representing tales of character, endeavour and craft.
