Balvenie 17 Year Old The Week of Peat Stories No.2 70cl, 49.4%

Description

Balvenie 17 Year Old The Week of Peat Stories No.2 70cl 49.4% is a distinctive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This expression is part of Balvenie’s Stories Collection, a series of releases that celebrate the people, craftsmanship, and traditions behind the distillery.

“The Week of Peat” tells the story of the one week each year when Balvenie’s distillery team produces peated spirit using Highland peat, creating a smoky style that is rarely seen from this traditionally unpeated Speyside distillery.

The whisky is matured for 17 years, allowing the smoky character to integrate beautifully with Balvenie’s classic honeyed and fruity house style. The result is a balanced and complex whisky where gentle peat smoke complements sweet malt, fruit, and oak.

Bottled at a higher strength of 49.4% ABV, this expression offers a richer body and more intense flavour profile, highlighting the interplay between smoke, sweetness, and spice.

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