Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask Non Chill Filtered Release 70cl, 48.7%

Description

Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask Non Chill Filtered Release 70cl 48.7% is a distinctive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This special bottling highlights Balvenie’s expertise in cask finishing while presenting the whisky in a non chill-filtered format and at a higher strength, preserving more of the whisky’s natural texture and flavour.

The whisky is initially matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, allowing it to develop Balvenie’s signature honeyed sweetness and soft vanilla character. It is then finished in casks that previously held heavily peated whisky, introducing layers of delicate smoky complexity to the spirit.

This finishing process creates a unique balance between Speyside sweetness and subtle peat smoke, giving the whisky depth and character while maintaining the smooth elegance typical of Balvenie.

Aged for 17 years and bottled at 48.7% ABV, this expression offers a richer body and more intense flavour profile compared to the standard releases.

The result is a complex single malt with flavours of honey, vanilla, orchard fruits, gentle smoke, and warming spice.
