Description
Balvenie Peated Tripple Cask 14Y 70CL is a whisky with a bit of a backstory! In the 1950s, Balvenie distilled a batch of heavily peated malt, unlike other Speyside distilleries at the time.
This peated expression was originally released for the Travel Retail market. It was aged for 14 years in three cask types – first-fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry cask. The resulting whisky is sweet, smoky and full of spices.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet, malty aromas with a gentle earthy smokiness in the background. Vanilla fudge and cinnamon.
Palate: Golden syrup contrasted with smoke. Sharper citrus notes alongside creamy vanilla and honey, fade into warming cinnamon and ginger spices.
Finish: A lingering finish of delicate smoke and spicy honeyed sweetness.
