Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 566: Balvenie 14 Year Old The Week of Peat

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a special Balvenie. Only one week per year does Balvenie (excuse me: The Balvenie) distill a whisky from smoked malt. The peat, by the way, comes from the Speyside. The idea came from Ian Millar, a former distillery manager, after he spent a week on Islay. David Stewart, the legendary master distiller who retired a few years ago, thought it was a great idea because he had tasted Balvenie from the 1940s and 1950s, which were produced with peated malt. He was eager to replicate that.
