An evolution of The Balvenie Peat Week 14 Year Old, launched worldwide in 2017. This expression tells the story of master distiller David Stewart and former distillery manager Ian Millar, who took advantage of a week-long gap in the distillery's production schedule to trial peat in the barley drying process, on samples of various ages taken since 2002. The result is a classic The Balvenie expression, with notes of honey, vanilla and citrus and an added touch of smokiness.
