For Peat's Sake
The Scotch Malt Whisky SocietyCompare and contrast the nuances of peat from two different regions with this smokin’ set! Cask 66.148 Smoky Atholl Brose represents the cooler, more campfire-oriented expression of Highland peat. This peat is based in old Caledonian forest materials offering a textbook expression of the peated mainland style. Cask 53.276 Ein kleiner deutscher samurai hails from Islay and uses peat based in seaweed and sand, among other coastal vegetation. The result is an intensely satisfying foray into classic Islay peat.
