Peaty Whisky

Peaty Whiskey

On this page you will find our large selection of peaty whiskey. Peaty whiskeys are part of the many scotch whiskeys and come with their very own unique flavor and provide a fantastic new addition to your whiskey collection.

Peaty whiskey originates on the Scottish island of Islay. For generations, Islay has dried the barley used in whiskey over a peat bonfire, giving peaty whiskey its unique flavor.

You're never doubt if you're drinking a peaty whiskey from Islay, precisely because of the more powerful taste that's expressed due to the manufacturing process.

With us, you will find in this category a wide variety of world-famous peaty whiskey served in bars around the globe, including the amazing Laphroaig, the powerful Bowmore Tempest and many more. Whatever whiskey you prefer, we are positive that we can find a bottle and brand that fits your palate!

1770 Glasgow 2016/2023 Mac Y Selection 7 years old Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55.8%

Item no.: 059763-615-281

One cask, 114 bottles, and a Danish importer who sat and waited for seven years. The spirit ran off the stills on a July day in 2016 in an industrial park in the west of Glasgow, and exactly seven years and ten days later the cask was emptied. Timing like that is rarely an accident.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow 2016/2023 Mac Y Selection 7 Years Old is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill ex-bourbon cask and finished in Virgin Oak, bottled at 55.8%. Cask 16/844 was distilled on 17 July 2016 and bottled on 27 July 2023, yielding 114 bottles selected by the Danish importer Mac Y.
Just over three years went by in the first fill bourbon cask, where the spirit picked up vanilla, coconut and a light cereal sweetness. Then came almost four years in new charred American oak. Virgin Oak has never held spirit before, and it works fast and hard: cinnamon, nutmeg, burnt sugar and a drier tannic edge shift the whole profile. Seven years does not sound like much, but in virgin oak seven years can do more than twice that in a refill cask.
Glasgow Distillery uses malted barley and water from Loch Katrine, ferments for more than 72 hours and distils slowly in traditional copper pot stills. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Freshly planed oak and warm cinnamon bun first. Behind that come vanilla, toasted coconut and a hint of yellow fruit, mostly pear with a little pineapple. There is also a drier pencil shaving note that virgin oak casks tend to give.
Palate
Sweet and spicy at once. Burnt sugar, nutmeg and baked apple meet a firm oak tannin that tightens things up mid-palate. At 55.8% it runs warm but the body holds. A few drops of water draw out more honey and calm the wood a little.
Finish
Long and woody, with pepper, toasted oak and a faintly bitter cocoa note. The sweetness lets go slowly.

Did You Know?
The water for 1770 comes from Loch Katrine in the Trossachs, the same loch that has supplied Glasgow with drinking water since 1859. The city built an aqueduct system running more than 50 kilometres to fight cholera, and today that same water runs through a malt distillery on the western edge of town.

1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Red Wine & Ruby Port Cask 4 years old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-282

Two whiskies from the same distillery that were never meant to meet. One peated and finished in Bordeaux red wine casks. The other triple distilled and finished in Ruby Port. Somebody opened both and poured them together, and what came out makes more sense than it should.
The Expert's Description
1770 Glasgow 2018/2022 Red Wine & Ruby Port Cask 4 Years Old is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Bordeaux red wine casks and Ruby Port casks, bottled at 57.5%. It brings together two different malt whiskies, both made at Glasgow Distillery, released in the distillery’s Small Batch Series at 1,925 bottles.
The first part is peated and took its finish in casks from Bordeaux, which lays dark berries and a drier tannic edge into the smoke. The second is triple distilled and unpeated, finished in Ruby Port, giving red fruit, sweetness and a fuller texture. Because every drop comes from the one distillery, the whisky is still a Single Malt.
The water comes from Loch Katrine, the mash ferments for more than 72 hours, and distillation runs slowly in copper pot stills. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark berries first, blackberry and preserved cherry, and behind them a dry earthy smoke closer to cold ash than a bonfire. There is vinous sweetness too and a streak of liquorice. The smoke is clear but it does not fill the whole glass.
Palate
Sweet and full to start: raspberry, redcurrant and a little dark chocolate. Then the smoke arrives from the side along with black pepper and a drier tannin from the red wine wood. At 57.5% the body is generous, and a pleasant tension between sweet and smoky runs the whole way through.
Finish
Long and in two halves. The fruit lingers first, then a drier note of ash and pepper takes over and releases slowly.

Glasgow Distillery runs peated, unpeated and triple distilled production within the same year. Most Scottish malt distilleries stick to one style, but here the recipe is deliberately switched so there is something different to build with when the casks are brought together. This bottle is a direct result of working that way.

Annandale 10 year old Man O Swords Cask 39 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,6%

Item no.: 05977-556

Cask number 39 was filled in the first year the distillery ran after nearly a century of silence. Ten years later it has been emptied again: 239 bottles of the peated style Annandale named after a king who beat the English.
The Expert's Description
Annandale 10 Years Old Man O' Sword Cask 39 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill ex-bourbon cask and bottled at 58.6% cask strength. Cask 39 was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2025, yielding 239 bottles.
Man O' Sword is the distillery's peated range, named after Robert the Bruce, Scotland's warrior king and the seventh Lord of Annandale. The unpeated style is called Man O' Words after Robert Burns. Two Roberts, two entirely different whiskies, and it is the peated one in this bottle.
A refill bourbon cask is a more restrained choice than a first fill. The wood gives less vanilla and less sweetness, letting the smoke and the spirit’s own fruitiness come through more plainly across ten years. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured, and the colour is a pale clear gold precisely because the cask gave little.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet peat smoke first, mixed with dark syrup and soft butter. The smoke is present but restrained rather than overwhelming. Ripe apples and a drier cereal note sit behind.
Palate
Fresh and rounded at the same time. Apples and pears open with clear fruitiness, quickly followed by the smoke and a green grassy freshness that tells you the whisky comes from the Lowlands. The texture is oily and carries the flavours well.
Finish
Long, warm and persistent. Wood, spice and smoked malt in balance, where the smoke lengthens the experience rather than shouting over the finer nuances.

Did You Know?
Annandale fell silent in 1918 and was later used as a production line for Provost porridge oats. The buildings stood decaying for decades until David Thomson and Teresa Church began a thorough restoration. The first spirit ran from the stills on 9 November 2014, and cask number one was filled six days later, in the original 1830s warehouse.

Annandale Double Oaked Man O Swords Cask 1437 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 61,1%

Item no.: 05977-561

A cask already used twice in Kentucky gets a third turn in Scotland. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is made by moving finished bourbon into yet another freshly charred barrel. That barrel then came over here, with peated Scottish malt inside it.
The Expert's Description
Annandale Double Oaked Man O' Sword Cask 1437 is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an ex-Woodford Reserve Double Oaked cask and bottled at 61.1% cask strength. The cask was filled in 2017 and emptied in 2023, giving six years.
Man O' Sword is Annandale's peated range, named after Robert the Bruce. The combination of peat smoke and a double-charred bourbon barrel is unusual: the cask has already given up most of its bourbon character in Kentucky, but the extra char released fresh sugars in the wood, and it is those that meet the smoke here.
The result is powerful and full of character. At 61.1% there is nothing cautious in the bottle, and the whisky is non-chill filtered. Annandale sits in Dumfriesshire in the far south of Scotland and has run both peated and unpeated production since reopening in 2014.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Charred pineapple first, a note you do not meet often, alongside peat smoke and crisp biscuits. Behind them come burnt sugar and a warm, almost resinous wood note from the double-charred cask.
Palate
Black pepper and fire embers open, quickly followed by caramel and a thick sweetness from the wood. The smoke sits in the middle of it all rather than beneath, and the 61.1% gives a full, insistent mouthfeel. There are no soft edges here.
Finish
Long and warm. Smoke, spice and burnt sugar hold on for a good while, with a dry ash note right at the end.

Did You Know?
Double Oaked is a bourbon technique, not a Scottish one. Woodford Reserve takes fully matured bourbon and moves it into another new charred oak barrel for an extra spell. When that barrel is later shipped to Scotland it arrives with two layers of char and has already given up most of its bourbon sweetness, which produces a very different cask influence from a standard ex-bourbon barrel.

Expert Review
Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch 4 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46.2%.
No two Traigh Bhan batches are alike, and Batch 4 stands out with a silkier character thanks to a higher share of first-fill bourbon casks working alongside the sherry casks.

Ardbeg 19 years old Traigh Bhan Batch 5 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46.2%

Item no.: 059763-615-209

A small whitewashed warehouse on the Islay shore, salt in the air, and a batch that exists only until the next one takes its place.
Expert Review
Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan Batch 5 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46.2%.
Traigh Bhan means white beach, named after the small bay just below the distillery. The series is released in a new batch every year, and each one is its own irreplaceable blend that disappears from the shelf once the next arrives. Batch 5 brings together casks that give the whisky a depth not always found in Ardbeg's more widely available releases, without losing the distillery's trademark backbone of peat and smoke.
The whisky is non-chill filtered, so everything the casks gave it along the way is still in the glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Green peppers and a hint of smoked mango open things up, quickly followed by guava and a sweet whiff of maple syrup over crisp bacon.
Palate
Peat arrives first, warm and earthy, before the sherry casks unfold with dark fruit and a lightly salted caramel.
Finish
Long and smoky, with a finish of toasted nuts and a last trace of sea salt.

Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg! Committee Release French Label Single Islay Malt Whisky 51,8%

Item no.: 225554449-33321145

A pirate with no bottle in hand, and that absence alone is the whole reason collectors chase this release.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg! Committee Release French Label is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in used rye casks and bottled at cask strength, 51.8%.
The release was created to honour outgoing Distillery Manager Mickey Heads, who left the role after 13 years at Ardbeg. This "French Label" version is distinguished by the pirate on the label holding no bottle of Ardbeg, unlike the original release, which has made this particular variant especially sought-after among Ardbeg collectors.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Spiced rye and peat meet a dry, almost peppery sharpness from the rye casks.
Palate
Full cask strength gives an intense, spiced structure, where smoke and rye grain take the lead.

Long and dry, with lasting spice and smoke that stay on the palate.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57.1%

Item no.: 22227865466-21

Named after one of the world's most notorious whirlpools, and just as violent and untamed in the glass as the current is at the coast.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Corryvreckan is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in French oak and ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 57.1%.
The name comes from the Corryvreckan whirlpool north of Islay, a natural phenomenon that mirrors the whisky's raw power. It's neither chill filtered nor coloured, letting the full cask strength show through from the first sip to the last.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Bold black coffee meets dense, rich dark chocolate tones, with sweet autumn fruit like blackcurrant and cherry in the background.
Palate
Elegant, softly spiced oak ties it all together with heavy peat and a touch of salt that bites gently on the tongue.

Ardbeg Dolce Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 47,8%

Item no.: 2241555-44669

There's something sun-drenched about Islay's cliffs this year. Ardbeg has brought a taste of Sicily home to its rugged, windswept coast, and the result looks like an old Italian film poster painted in smoke, orange peel and sunlight.
Expert's Description
Ardbeg Dolce Islay is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks and Marsala Dolce casks and bottled at 47.8%.
This is Ardbeg's official release for Ardbeg Day 2026, the distillery's annual celebration during Fèis Ìle on Islay, built this year around the theme "La Dolce Vita" — a nod to the glamour of 1960s Italian cinema. The whisky brings together malt matured in Marsala Dolce casks, the sweetest style of Sicilian fortified wine, with classic bourbon cask-matured Ardbeg. The Marsala casks add a deep, dry sweetness of dried fruit and a slightly oxidative edge, while the bourbon casks keep the distillery's usual citrus brightness and smoke intact. It's a limited release, only available while stocks last.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripe apricot and raisins meet orange marmalade, with a hint of roasted almonds and a distant, smoky peat in the background.
Palate
Dark chocolate and roasted nuts sit on top of Ardbeg's signature smoke, while the Marsala casks add a sweet, almost wine-like depth.
Finish
Long and smoky, with a trailing note of applewood smoke and a last touch of sweet fruit.

The nose delivers an explosion of fruity esters reminiscent of smoked bubblegum, mixed with ripening barley and toasted sourdough. The whisky is non-chill filtered, so its full, oily structure carries right through to the glass.

Item no.: 2222333-746

Lavender and incense on an otherwise unforgiving Islay coastline, as if the distillery has for once thrown open the chapel door and let something entirely new inside.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Spectacular is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon and port casks and bottled at 46%.
The bottle was released as Ardbeg's official Ardbeg Day whisky, and for the first time ever the distillery let part of the spirit mature entirely in casks that previously held port wine. The rest rested in ex-bourbon casks, and the two are married together so the fruit sweetness of the port can speak alongside Ardbeg's usual peat and smoke without drowning it out. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Lavender and incense candles mingle with a rich, almond-like nuttiness, while damp peat and woodsmoke sit as a deep base underneath.
Palate
Sweet leather and dark chocolate meet a cool, almost minty freshness, before the soft port fruit steps forward.

Salted caramel and ripe pear in a long, smoky finish that never turns too sweet.

Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 11 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 62,5%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0160

Ardlair is not a distillery. It is a name Ardmore uses when the smoke stays at home, the unpeated half of the house, named after a stone circle out in the surrounding landscape. Here it has spent eleven years in a sherry cask at 62.5%.
The Expert's Description
Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 11 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill Oloroso Sherry Butt and bottled at 62.5% cask strength. Cask 900032 was distilled on 27 January 2011 and bottled on 11 January 2023 in Signatory's Cask Strength Collection, giving 597 bottles.
Ardmore is one of the few Highland distilleries with peat smoke as a core style, and Ardlair is the name given to the unpeated production. Without the smoke the spirit’s own fruitiness and malt sweetness step forward more clearly, which makes the whisky far more receptive to a sherry cask.
That the cask is refill rather than first fill matters here. A refill Oloroso Butt gives up less colour and less tannin, so the sherry settles as a layer on top instead of taking over. The whisky is bottled without filtration and without added colour.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Raisins and figs first, with roasted nuts and honey behind. There is dried ginger and spice in it, and beneath the sherry sits a bright apple fruitiness that tells you the spirit is unpeated.
Palate
Dark chocolate and walnut open, followed by sweet sherry and spiced oak. The vanilla arrives late. At 62.5% the concentration is considerable, and the whisky takes water well, turning rounder rather than thinner.
Finish
Long and warming with persistent sherry sweetness and elegant oak tannins that let go slowly.

Did You Know?
Ardlair is named after a stone circle near the distillery. Ardmore itself was built in 1898 by Adam Teacher to secure malt for the family blend, Teacher's Highland Cream, and the house has made peated whisky ever since. Ardlair is the exception, the half that never sees peat.
