Description
Balvenie 14 Year Old Roasted Malt 70cl 47.1% is a distinctive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This unique expression explores the flavour influence created by using roasted malted barley during the whisky-making process.
The roasting of the barley introduces deeper, richer malt flavours that complement Balvenie’s classic honeyed character. After distillation, the whisky is matured for 14 years in traditional oak casks, allowing the spirit to develop a balanced and complex profile.
The result is a rich and flavourful whisky with notes of toasted malt, honey, caramel, chocolate, and gentle spice, supported by Balvenie’s smooth Speyside character.
Bottled at 47.1% ABV, this expression offers a fuller-bodied and more intense flavour profile than many standard Balvenie releases.

This expression highlights Balvenie’s willingness to experiment with different malt treatments to explore new flavour profiles. The roasted malt adds depth and richness while maintaining the distillery’s signature honeyed sweetness.
