Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask 70cl, 43%

Description

Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask 70cl 43% is a distinctive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This expression is part of Balvenie’s Cask Finishes range, highlighting the distillery’s expertise in experimenting with different cask influences.

The whisky is initially matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops Balvenie’s classic honeyed sweetness and soft vanilla character. It is then finished in casks that previously held heavily peated whisky, allowing subtle smoky notes to integrate with the spirit.

This finishing process creates a unique combination of Speyside sweetness and gentle peat smoke, adding complexity without overpowering Balvenie’s signature smooth style.

Aged for 17 years and bottled at 43% ABV, this expression offers a beautifully balanced profile with layers of honey, fruit, oak, and delicate smoke.

The result is a refined single malt with flavours of honey, vanilla, orchard fruits, soft peat smoke, and warming spice.
