Balvenie 2003 'The Week of Peat' 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

The Balvenie Peat Week is an annual limited-production release made from barley dried over peat smoke during a dedicated one-week production period each year. The Balvenie 2003 Peat Week 14 Year Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced by William Grant & Sons. Distilled in 2003 and aged for 14 years, this expression incorporates peated malt, introducing earthy smoke to the distillery’s traditional flavor profile. It retains characteristic notes of tropical fruit, honey, peach, and vanilla, complemented by a subtle smoky character. The release demonstrates a departure from Balvenie’s typically unpeated style while maintaining the softer, fruit-forward character associated with Speyside single malts.
