Balvenie Stories 14YO – A Week of Peat is a 14-year-old expression in the Balvenie Stories lineup. It threads the distillery’s signature honeyed fruit and vanilla through a restrained peat influence, delivering a balanced, approachable result with a subtle smoky edge. Clean, layered, and drinkable, it rewards attentive tasting without overwhelming the classic Balvenie character.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Gentle peat smoke with Balvenie honey, vanilla, orchard fruit (pears, apples), orange zest, and toasted barley.
- Palate: Silky malt, honeyed sweetness, vanilla, citrus peel, ripe fruit, and warm spice; peat smoke emerges mid-palate.
- Finish: Medium-length, continuing with honey and spice, leaving a delicate peat whisper and oak warmth.
