A very balanced dram, smooth and not overly peated. With only around 3,000 bottles available and at a decent price point, we highly recommended it.

https://maltmusketeers.com/brand/balvenie/14-year-old-peat-week#tasting

Nose

Fair amount of earthiness initially, nice balance of oak wood and sweetened tobacco notes, floral with overtones of vanilla and lemon zest.

Taste

Earthy again – shinning through, sweet peated smoke with a slight bitter black tea note, subdued spices, cloves, quite drying with a hints of honey and vanilla.

Finish

Medium/long finish with a slight bitter end – 85% cocoa dark chocolate, quite fruity with a peppery sizzle on the tongue.

"This has that typical Balvenie-vanilla note, the smoke harmonizes with it, but unfortunately a bit pungent on the nose. In the taste a little too stormy. Lots of oak and lots of alcohol. In the finish rather out of round. Although no youth, but somehow not well done. With water, the stinging is gone and the malt is much better "

Self-willed, especially the chamomile is somehow exciting, but unfortunately has the nose and the mouth a bit musty that I do not like it.

Nose

only subtle smoke, wet cloth, a little chamomile, with time the light pear, so typical of Balvenie, but covered with a slightly musty peat note.

Taste

Chamomile, light peat, mineral, wet stone, a little bitterness, some cardboard.

Finish

very tart, slightly tingling, some smoke, the chamomile I think so no longer, rather black tea.

Excellent Balvenie, beside the distillery character, embraces the peat and smoke very well.

Nose

Creamy. Honey, vanilla, peat, hay and earth, citruses, unripe banana, waxy apple, tutti frutti.

Taste

Strong, spicy. Pepper and cloves, cocoa, vanilla, sweet fruits, citruses. Salted caramel and fine wood smoke.

Finish

Medium length, bittersweet, spicy, smoky.
