Balvenie The Week of Peat Collection 3 x 70cl

Balvenie was built by William Grant in 1892 and remains part of his family's company to this day. In the early part of its history, its purpose was primarily for the provision of malt for Grant's blends, however following the global success of Glenfiddich, the Balvenie single malt brand was launched in 1973. It remained a rarity though, and it was not until the opening of Kininvie in 1990, and later Ailsa Bay in Girvan, that the distillery was given the freedom to focus on its single malt. Today it is one of the best recognised brands in the world. In 1993 they launched the 12 year old "DoubleWood," an expression credited with pioneering the use of cask-finishing, and this has become a key motif for the distillery's output in recent times.

Titled 'The Week of Peat', this peated whisky is the second part of a 2019 release from Balvenie distillery, entitled The Stories. Since 2002, one week of the year is set aside at Balvenie to use peat in their malting kiln, and the whisky produced from it is set aside for an annual limited release.

Other expressions in The Stories series include 'The Sweet Toast of American Oak' and 'A Day of Dark Barley.'

This collection features all three of the 'Week of Peat' releases. The 19 year old was released solely for travel retail, while the younger two went on general commercial release.

Please note: a three-bottle shipping fee will be applied to this lot.
