Peat comes in many forms. But all of it starts the same way – with decayed plant and organic matter. Admittedly, that’s not the most appealing thought. But because peat is organic, its composition changes due to different locations, history and weather conditions – not to mention the impact of each ecosystem’s particularities. And that’s before it undergoes combustion or the peated spirit goes into the cask, which brings further layers to the flavour. So peat really is quite special when you think about it!

Our Peat Stack Trio offers three different takes on our Peated flavour profile. There’s tangy umami peat smoke from Cask No. 4.357: Sphagnum and heather, sweet wood smoke and ash from Cask No. 10.252: A firefighter’s reward and smouldering bonfires with spice in Cask No. 138.17: Smoky meringue tang.

Each of these whiskies offers a cask adventure of its own with different regions, maturations, and flavours – all of them bound by their peaty roots.
