Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 406: Big Peat Peatrichor
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a special Feis Ile 2021 bottling. Petrichor is the smell that arises when rain falls on dry ground. Google it, if you don’t believe us. Douglas Laing was happy to turn that into PEATrichor. It was specially bottled in honor of the Islay Music & Malt Festival – Feis Ile – 2021, which took places virtually for the second time in a row. On the label we see Big Peat with a yellow rain vest among the peat bogs on Islay.
Balvenie has always been a constant in my life in some way or another. It’s always customers wanting to try it, good friends drinking it, or the odd bottle sparking my interest. This is certainly the latter.
Peated Speyside whisky is a growing style and so far has all been wonderfully tasty! This Balvenie is full of coastal salt and spice on the nose, a little of the ‘classic’ Balvenie is creeping in, some honey and a little vanilla, etc. The finish is full flavoured, dry and very Talisker-like. Honestly delicious and very captivating from the big Speysider.
