Episode 2: The Week of Peat

The Balvenie

The Balvenie Stories Series takes you behind the scenes of The Balvenie, to meet the people and explore the places that helped shape this incredible range of whiskies. Hosted by Gemma Paterson, The Balvenie Global Ambassador. In The Week of Peat, Gemma explores what links a highland peat, The Balvenie’s Warehouse 41 and a Defender driving around the Cabrach. Spending time with former Distillery Manager, Ian Millar, Gemma gets a sense of how their own lives and stories are intertwined with whisky and distilling. The episode ends with a whisky tasting like no other, as Malt Master David Stewart and Warehouse Coordinator George Paterson sample a series of different casks to try and explain the effect that Peat can have on The Balvenie whisky.
