Comprising three single malts, The Balvenie Stories range includes 12 Year Old The Sweet Toast of American Oak, 14 Year Old The Week of Peat and 26 Year Old A Day of Dark Barley.
A 26-year-old dram, A Day of Dark Barley is the oldest expression in the range and is another familiar face.
An edition of this whisky was released in 2006 as the Balvenie 14 Year Old Roasted Malt. However, casks were retained for extra maturation and the result is a sublime aged Balvenie that was bottled at 47.8% ABV.
The story here references Stewart’s and The Balvenie distillery team experiment with a heavily roasted dark barley back in 1992 and celebrates two Balvenie legends, mashman Brian Webster and maltman Robbie Gormley.
Further whiskies are expected to be released as part of the Balvenie Stories range in the coming years.
Nose: Big malty notes, soft brown sugar, vanilla toffee, blossom honey and a mild oaky spiciness.
Palate: Syrupy with a toffee sweetness, some citrussy notes of tangy orange peel, followed by oak vanilla and a touch of cinnamon and ginger spices at the end.
Finish: Enduring gentle waves of vanilla and oak spices.
