Balvenie Peat Week 14 Year (2003 Edition)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
December 25, 2019
Nose: soil, dirt, earth, peaty but not particularly smoky, pu-erh tea, forest floor, swamp
Palate: funky, undergrowth, floral notes, spicy, dead leaves, hints of honey, medicinal, thick, viscous, rain in a bog. Mellows out over the tasting, more subtlety and subdued sweet notes and small hints of menthol, followed by still overwhelming peat.
Finish: doesn’t linger, hints of juniper and herbs, minty/menthol
Epitome of peaty but not smoky
