William I had heard that Peat Week was coming but had assumed that it was going to be peatier, still sounds good.

It is news to me, sounds interesting, what's the price?

Hi Lenton

They haven't disclosed the price for the Balvenie Peat Week yet but I suspect it will be around the same price as the travel retail Balvenie 14 Year Old Peated Triple Cask which launched in June with a RRP of Â£65

Master of Malt have it listed as coming soon, I would guess that they will show the price some time in the next week https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/balvenie/balvenie-peat-week-aged-14-years-2002-vintage-scotch-whisky/

I tried the Peated Balvenie from travel retail which I understand is very similar. Cracking dram.

cheers William, I expected it to be more expensive given the price of the travel retail peated Balvenie, pleased to see it isn't as expensive, I have ordered a bottle.

A great dram, pretty much as your review describes it William, cheers.

Opened my bottle of Peat Week on Friday and had a few drams over the weekend, pretty much inline with Williams rating and others reviews. A friend is picking me up a bottle of the Peated Triple Cask from the airport next week so looking forward to tasting that now.

I was drinking the Balvenie Peat Week last night, not as peaty as they may lead you to believe but I expected that after Williams review, still a great expression of the Balvenie.

I agree a cracking whisky but would have been better named Balvenie Weak Peat Laughing
