Thoughts 💭 :  Immerse yourself in the captivating richness of fruity flavours with this remarkable addition to the Balvenie Stories range. This whisky was exclusively matured in an ex-bourbon barrel originally intended for the Single Barrel 12 collection. However, an intriguing twist occurred as the spirit absorbed the subtle essence of peat smoke that lingered in the air during the peat week, lending this whisky a delightful hint of distant smoke.

Upon savouring, you’ll experience an opulent mouthfeel, accompanied by a satisfying texture. The sweet and luscious fruity flavours are complemented by gentle notes of singed oak, providing a unique and distinctive character to the whisky.

Sláinte!
