Balvenie 19 Year Old Week Of Peat
Pronunciation: {Balvny}
This Balvenie 19 Year Old Week Of Peat whisky is part of The Balvenie Stories series and is a limited edition peated whisky. The idea came about when distillery manager Ian Millar spotted a gap in the production schedule and decided to try peated barley for one week a year.
The resulting whisky, distilled and bottled after 19 years of maturation, was created under the supervision of Malt Master's Apprentice Kelsey McKechnie, who continues the legacy of David C. Stewart.
The distillate matures for 19 years in a combination of American oak bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry casks.
The aroma will surprise you with a subtle but noticeable peaty smoke combined with sweet notes of vanilla, honey, and citrus fruits. The taste is elegant and smooth, medium-long, with a combination of earthy smoke, sweet honey, creamy vanilla, subtle cinnamon spice, and a hint of citrus peel. According to reviews, the whisky has a rich consistency but retains a smoother, bourbon style with a hint of peat.
Ideal neat at room temperature to allow the layers of smoke, sweetness and spice to develop. A drop or two of water can reveal more fruitiness and a warm, spicy character. Thanks to its refined balance, it is an excellent choice as a digestif or premium gift.
