The Balvenie 14 Year Old Week of Peat is a unique and complex whisky that combines the distillery's signature honeyed sweetness with a rich, smoky flavor profile. The peat flavor is well-integrated and adds depth and complexity to the whisky without overpowering it.

Some additional notes:
- The whisky is named "Week of Peat" because the distillery's peat kilns were only fired for one week a year, resulting in a limited amount of peated spirit.
- The whisky is bottled at 48.3% ABV, which is a nod to the 48.3 hours it takes to peat the malt.
