Just had a quick dram of this in the company of none other than master distiller David Stewart, who happened to be signing bottles in a store near my office. It's quite different to the Peated Triple Cask I reviewed earlier, but just as well balanced and integrated. The main difference is that the peat is more overt on this one, which is matured entirely in new and refill American oak. The triple cask has some sherry wood in the mix, which Stewart said has the effect of subduing the peat influence a touch. I had to search to find the typical Balvenie notes of honey, but they are present in the finish. Don't expect Islay-level peatiness -- this is tamer mainland smoke. There's just enough to influence the nose and initial taste without overwhelming the spirit. Worth buying a bottle.
