anCnoc’s Flaughter is named for the part of a spade used to remove the top layer of peat. When Knockdhu, the name of their distillery, first opened, peat was the primary fuel of the Highlands and whisky production was no exception. However, when railways spread throughout Scotland, the dependence on peat as a fuel source fell, and the style of whisky fell out of favor.

Tasting Notes

"Sweet peat notes open the nose on this solid whisky. Smoke and ash character moves through, reminiscent of the day following a bush fire. Earth and light caramel tones appear before fruits and sweet malts show up. On the palate, the whisky is moderately smoked but with a floral and fruity sweetness behind it and dry, rich earth adding savory and toasted notes. The finish is on the short side, but is pleasant for what it is."
