Description
The Old Ballantruan THE PEATED MALT Unchillfiltered 50% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky with a strong character that deliberately breaks with the classic expectations of this region. Produced in the renowned Glenlivet region, this whisky is distilled using traditional methods but, unlike typical Speyside bottlings, uses heavily peated malt, resulting in a distinctively smoky style. This peated single malt combines the elegant fruitiness of Speyside with strong peat smoke, creating an exciting interplay between origin and style. Bottled at a powerful 50% and naturally non-chill-filtered, this single malt Scotch whisky retains its natural oils, full texture and intense aromatic density. It is supplied in a high-quality gift box, which further emphasizes the special character of this bottling.
The Old Ballantruan Peated Malt impresses with a balanced combination of smoke, floral notes and malty depth. The combination of strong peat, citrus freshness and subtle sweetness makes this smoky Speyside whisky an exceptional bottling that appeals to both connoisseurs and lovers of intense aromas.

Old Ballantruan THE PEATED MALT is an excellent accompaniment to smoked salmon, oysters or grilled scallops, as its smoky notes ideally complement the salty aromas. This peated Speyside single malt also harmonizes well with grilled meat such as lamb, beef steak or game dishes, where its spicy smokiness comes into its own. This smoky whisky also unfolds its full depth with strong cheeses such as cheddar or blue cheese as well as dark chocolate or chocolate desserts. We particularly recommend drinking it neat or with a few drops of water to experience the complex aromas to the full. (automated translation)
