No I don't consider Balvenie a peaty scotch, but there are hints of it. Granted I tend to lean towards the more peaty, smoky scotchs (Laphroaig and Bowmore) so my palate may be a bit biased, but still I wouldn't call it peaty.
I think it's very well rounded scotch with some nice flavors that aren't overpowering.
