Tasting notes

Nose

Strong peat notes up front. Light malt sweetness behind the smoke. Herbs and a slightly earthy quality.

Palate

Direct and intense. Smoke dominates but the malt keeps it in check. A light fruity sweetness and grain character.

Finish

Warm and lingering smoke. The alcohol is present but balanced by the malt body.

Frequently asked questions about Nobs Distillery Raw Spirit Peated

What is a raw spirit or new make?

Raw spirit or new make is spirit that has not yet been cask matured. It is the distillate in its purest form — clear in colour, direct and unaltered by wood. Here it is a peated expression from NOBS Distillery on Samsø.

How peated is the Raw Spirit?

Significantly. NOBS Raw Spirit is made from peated malt, and at 54.8% the smoke is prominent and defining. This is not a subtle background note — it is a central part of the flavour profile.

Can you drink Raw Spirit like whisky?

Yes. It works well neat with a small amount of water to open the aromas, or over ice. It also works in cocktails that call for a smoky, malty base.

Both are peated new make spirits from NOBS Distillery on Samsø. Raw Spirit is bottled at 54.8% and is the stronger expression. Wildfire is the lighter version at 45.8% with a more accessible profile — but both are unaged, peated malt distillate.
