Peaty Whisky

Peaty whisky is characterised by its bold, smoky flavour, a result of the use of peat during the malting process. Peat, a natural material found in bogs, is dried and burned to dry the barley, infusing the whisky with rich, earthy, and sometimes medicinal notes. The intensity of the peat varies across different whiskies, with some offering a light, subtle smokiness and others delivering an intense, robust experience. Popular among those who appreciate complex, distinctive flavours, peaty whisky is often linked to the iconic whiskies of Islay, Scotland.
