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.
Nose: Big, punchy notes of fresh vanilla pods and butterscotch mingle with lemon candy, peaches, and floral honey. Hints of toasted coconut and peppermint leaves add complexity.
Palate: Layers of vanilla cream, custard, and honeyed sweetness accompany classic Speyside notes of pears, nectarines, and fresh stone fruits. A gentle hint of light oak spice provides structure.
Finish: Medium length, clean and sweet, with lingering notes of zesty citrus, vanilla fudge, and a touch of caramel. Often described as a perfect ‘summer whisky’.
Nose: Strathisla Hart 10 Year Old CS reveals rich aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and oak. Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals notes of toffee, spice and dried fruit, with a touch of honey. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering flavors of fruit and grain on the palate.
Nose: Woody notes, apples, pears with a touch of caramel Mouth: Dry, powerful, spicy notes with a hint of oak and fruity Sherry. Finish: Surprisingly smooth given its high alcohol content, harmonious hint of smoke .
