Balvenie 17 Year Old the Week of Peat

For one week each year, Balvenie distills a batch using peated malt. They produce it using a peat-burner with Speyside peat, targeting phenol levels similar to those of Laphroaig and Ardbeg (30ppm). This gives rise to the Week of Peat.

The aroma has sweet peat smoke with floral hints, butterscotch and honey. The taste combines peat smoke with citrus, oak vanilla, and honey. Ending with a smoky finish and vanilla sweetness.
