Frequently asked
Why one week of peated production?
Balvenie is traditionally unpeated Speyside — but produces one week of peated whisky per year using peated malt from Highland Park. This limited peated production is then aged separately and released as Week of Peat expressions. Genuinely limited.
How peated is this?
Moderate — approximately 30ppm phenol level. Much lighter than Islay whiskies (Ardbeg, Laphroaig at 40-60ppm), but distinctly peated compared to standard Speyside style. Balanced peated Speyside character.
Is this good for Islay drinkers?
Yes — provides gentler entry into peated whisky than Islay's intensity, or a lighter change-of-pace for Islay drinkers. Also great for Speyside drinkers curious about peat.
