This expression is crafted solely from batches of peated malts, to examine something different from the distillery known for its lighter, fruitier whiskies. It is non chill-filtered and bottled at 48% ABV, with 20,000 bottles available as of November, 2021.

    Distilled in pot stills from 100% malted barley, produced at one distillery, aged in barrels; if Scotch or Irish, must be aged for at least three years.

Tasting Notes

"The peat here is mild on the nose, but increases to moderate on the palate and finish. Also on the nose are apple skins, pencil shavings, and gentle barrel spices. Allow the whisky to sit in the glass for a good 15 minutes or so and sweet caramel joins the apple notes for a nice carnival treat. The palate also shows a bittersweet note with a spicy edge. Would be a good choice for those that prefer a moderate peat level and a not-so-sweet taste flavor overall. "
