Description
The Balvenie Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (48.30% ABV, 700ml) is a rare and intriguing expression that breaks away from Speyside convention by utilizing 100% heavily peated malted barley. Masterfully crafted at the Dufftown distillery, it revives a historic tradition of using Highland peat to dry the malt. Pours a radiant golden straw color. The nose opens with a gentle, sweet, and aromatic veil of earthy peat smoke, followed by fresh floral honey, creamy vanilla, and crisp green orchard fruits. On the palate, its robust 48.30% proof delivers a smooth, velvety texture layered with soft smoke, citrus zest, butterscotch, and spicy oak, culminating in a long, warming, and delicately sweet-smoke finish.
