BALVENIE 14 Year Old Peated Triple Cask

BALVENIE 14 Year Old Peated Triple Cask

Balvenie, situated in Dufftown and built by the Grant family alongside its sister distillery Glenfiddich, holds a central position in Grant’s range of blends. Despite their close proximity and shared water source, Balvenie and Glenfiddich produce distinct styles of spirit. Balvenie’s new make spirit is characterised by a sweeter, honeyed profile with a hint of light peat.

The journey towards establishing Balvenie as a single malt distillery began in 1990 when the responsibility for blending stock production was shared with Kininvie distillery. This development provided Balvenie the opportunity to make significant strides. Through the use of innovative maturation processes, the distillery quickly gained recognition. Notably, Balvenie was at the forefront of cask “finishing,” introducing its pioneering DoubleWood expression in 1993. Furthermore, Balvenie stands out as one of the few remaining distilleries that still perform on-site malting. However, these malting only fulfil a small percentage of its current requirements.

The Balvenie Peated Triple Cask Aged 14 Years is non-chill filtered, bottled at 48.3% ABV and launched exclusively to travel retail in June 2017. The whisky is the first release made from 100% peated malt and was aged in three traditional cask types – first-fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry, resulting in exceptional smoky sweet notes with cinnamon and ginger spiciness.
