From the Balvenie Stories showing tales of character written in whisky.
The artwork from the bottle represents the real-life stories of the people behind the whiskies. With each tale, an artwork by British print artist Andy Lovell. For this bottle the story of Ian Miller using smoke from speyside peat for one week of the year.
For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a Whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with of delicate smokiness.
Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln and built a peat burner on the side ‘for, well, extra peatiness’.
It was in 2002 when Balvenie first decided to bring peat back for a week a year at the end of summer or winter, when they are shutting down for maintenance at the distillery.
