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!
  • Bottle of Octomore 16.2, a wine-cask-matured super-peated Islay whisky
    Item no.: 222555-97790

    Four cask types, one whisky. Octomore 16.2 blends Oloroso, Bordeaux, Madeira and Moscatel with extreme peat, attempting to unite smoke and winey elegance.

    Expert description

    Octomore 16.2 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 58.1%.

    The whisky is distilled from Scottish Concerto barley to 101.4 ppm and matured for five years in a complex combination of casks: Oloroso sherry, Bordeaux, Madeira and Portuguese Moscatel. The result is a whisky with depth and an unusual balance between peat smoke and winey nuance.

    This edition of The Impossible Equation series explores how extreme peat smoke can be united with elegance and fruitiness from four different wine casks at once.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, dried fruit and campfire smoke.

    Palate

    Dark berries, raisins, cherry and spiced molasses, framed by winey tannins and peat.

    Finish

    Long and smoky with tones of dried fruit, ash wood and warm spice.

    Item no.: 222555-97789

    16.1 opens a new conversation in the Octomore series. Uncompromising peat meets honeydew melon and apricot, in a whisky that insists smoke and sweetness can speak the same language.

    Expert description

    Octomore 16.1 is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 5 years and bottled at 59.3%.

    The combination of powerful peat smoke and bourbon maturation creates a balanced and sophisticated flavour profile that both challenges and rewards the seasoned whisky enthusiast.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Intense peat smoke with sweet notes of vanilla, coconut, honeydew melon and apricot, and a mineral freshness underneath.

    Item no.: 059763-615-1688

    A rare independent bottling from Skye's newest distillery, named after the island's most dramatic landscape.

    Expert description

    Torabhaig 7 Year Old Lady of the Glen The Quiraing, Playground of the Giants is a Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Torabhaig and bottled by independent bottler Lady of the Glen at cask strength 60.4%, with no added colour and no chill filtration. Torabhaig, only the second licensed whisky distillery ever on the island, opened in 2017 and was built around the remains of an abandoned 1760s farmstead as well as stone from the nearby Iron Age fort of Caisteal Chamuis. Lady of the Glen, founded in 2012 by Gregor Hannah in Fife, is known for hand-selecting and bottling rare single casks from Scottish distilleries without filtration. This bottling's name refers to the Quiraing, Britain's largest landslide, whose pillar-like rock formations are tied to giants in local folklore.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers smoke, sea air and a hint of citrus.

    Palate

    The palate is powerful with peat, salt and spiced malt.

  • Penderyn Serpents Tears First Release bottle from North Wales
    Item no.: 22227865397-260

    The Vikings called it exactly that — a giant serpent lurking off the coast at Llandudno. Now that same coastline has its own distillery, and its first bottle carries the name of the beast sailors once feared.

    Expert description

    Penderyn Serpents Tears First Release is a Single Malt Welsh Whisky made with peated malt and bottled at 46%, distilled at Penderyn's new site in Llandudno, North Wales — the first place in around 125 years where peated whisky has been distilled in Wales. The name comes from the Great Orme, a limestone headland at Llandudno whose name derives from the Old Norse word for 'great serpent,' a nod to the Viking sailors who once feared its steep cliffs.

    The first release is limited to around 6,000 bottles, some of which sold directly online at launch in 2025. Where Penderyn's Gold range draws its smoke entirely from the casks, Serpents Tears is different: here the smoke comes from the peated malt itself, making it something new within Penderyn's otherwise light, cask-driven range.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers dried leaves, ripe orchard fruit and a note of smoke, backed by toasted bread.

    Palate

    The palate combines sweet peat with creamy vanilla and baked apple, spiced with pepper and a touch of clove.

    Finish

    The finish is warm and softly smoky, with a barley sweetness that lingers.

  • Talisker 10 Year Old Old Version bottle without a tax band on the cork
    Item no.: 505956-498796-169-70

    A tax band is really just a small strip of paper across the cork - but its absence tells a story about where a bottle originally came from. This Talisker 10 Year Old is an Old Version without the Danish tax band, most likely brought in through a different channel than standard Danish retail.

    Note: This release has no Danish tax band.

    Expert Description

    Talisker 10 Year Old Old Version without tax band is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in American oak casks and bottled at 45.8%. The whisky is identical to the classic 10 Year Old, but the bottle lacks the Danish tax band normally placed across the cork on bottles sold through the Danish duty system.

    That makes it a slightly different edition for the collector, without changing what's in the bottle - the smoke, salt and pepper are still the same signature Talisker has always been known for.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose offers smoke, sea salt and citrus, with a sweetness that keeps things balanced and a hint of pepper foreshadowing the palate's later edge.

    Palate

    The palate is powerful and warming, with smoke, sea salt and citrus up front, backed by a pleasant sweetness and a clear peppery edge.

    Finish

    The finish is intense and fairly long, with a touch of pepper that stays well after the last sip.

  • Glen Scotia Campbeltown Festival 2025 bottle with reddish whisky
    Item no.: 222556368-77899

    Glen Scotia distils peated spirit for only a few weeks a year. The rest of the time the plant runs unpeated, so by the time the festival bottle appears the raw material is already a rarity at the distillery. The 2025 release added five months in Spanish red wine casks on top.

    The expert's description

    Glen Scotia Campbeltown Festival 2025 is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks with a finishing period in Ribera del Duero red wine casks, bottled at 54.3%.

    The whisky is nine years old and built on the distillery peated spirit. Main maturation took place in 1st fill bourbon casks, and the final five months were spent in casks from Ribera del Duero in northern Spain — a region known for powerful tempranillo wines. The combination of peat smoke and dark wine fruit is unusual, and the bottling is a limited edition, non-chill filtered and with no added colour.

    Campbeltown Malts Festival is held every spring, when the three distilleries in town open their doors and each releases a special bottling. It is the one time a year that Campbeltown fills up with whisky people, and the festival bottles are usually gone as fast as they arrive.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Creamy vanilla and salty sea air, with peat smoke settling on top. Behind it come dark berries and a vinous, almost preserved note.

    Palate

    Full and oiled. Smoked malt meets juicy blackberries and ripe red fruit, with a trace of liquorice underneath. The cask strength holds the smoke and the wine fruit in tension against each other.

    Finish

    Long and soft. Well-integrated smoke, dark fruit and a spiced, almost luxurious close.

    The distillery was originally called simply Scotia. The Glen came later, and on old bottles and nineteenth-century documents the name still appears without it. It is a detail that can date an old label immediately.

    Glenturret sits near the River Turret in the Scottish Highlands, but the maritime, salty character in this Ruadh Maor release comes primarily from the peat and the cask's own qualities, not from a coastal location.

    Ardlair is the Ardmore distillery’s unpeated whisky, and because there is no smoke to contend with, the cask can work directly on the spirit’s fruitiness. The refill sherry cask gives a complex, fruity profile without drowning the spirit’s own character, and that balance is the whole point of a refill cask over a first fill.

    The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour. Ardmore sits at Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire and has been running since 1898.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh apples first, then pistachios and burnt almonds. A dry sherry note sits behind, along with a light salted caramel sweetness that ties it together. At 63.4% the alcohol is obvious, so give the glass a little time.

    Palate

    Creamy in texture despite the strength. Dried fruit and nuts open, then salted caramel and a clear sherry character with spiced oak underneath. The whisky is powerful, yet it has finesse enough not to be merely power.

    Finish

    Long and persistent. Nuts, dried fruit and a dry oak close, where the sherry lets go last.

    Did You Know?

    Ardmore makes medium peated whisky at around 12 to 14 ppm, which is low compared with Islay but unusual for a Highland distillery. It is one of very few in the region where peat smoke is the core style rather than a side project. Ardlair is the part of the production where the peat is left out.

    Item no.: 22227865397-13-2

    An everyday dram does not have to be dull. This one has spent ten years in oak, and you hear it straight away: the smoke has gone tender, the caramel deep, and there are no sharp edges left.

    Expert description

    Black Bottle 10 Years CVH is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

    The release is a limited follow-up to standard Black Bottle, with every component in the blend matured for at least ten years. Fruity grain whisky meets both peated and unpeated single malts, and as across the range it is the Islay component that sets the tone. The extra time in wood shows most clearly in the texture, which is oilier than in the young expression.

    The producer's own notes for the ten year old point to smoked cherry wood, caramel and charred embers, and that is a fair description: the smoke has a sweet, woody edge rather than the medicinal peat associated with the southern Islay distilleries.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Caramelised sugar and smoked fruitwood, almost like a barbecue burning down. Behind it sit dried apricot and a brush of vanilla.

    Palate

    Soft and full with toffee and malted grain, then the smoke rolls in as glowing ash and a nip of black pepper.

    Finish

    Medium and lightly spiced. The smoke drops away slowly and leaves toasted malt and a dry, pleasant sweetness.

    Palo Cortado is the rarest of all sherry styles, because it begins its life ageing as a Fino before unexpectedly developing a character that leads the cellar master to reclassify it as an Oloroso.

  • Annandale Double Oaked Man O' Sword Cask 1437 bottle, peated Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    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.

    Californian sunshine and Scottish peat meet in one glass, as if Ardbeg took a detour through Napa Valley on the way home to Islay.

    Expert Review

    Ardbeg Smoketrails Napa Valley Edition is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks and bottled at 46%.

    The bottle belongs to the Smoketrails series, where Ardbeg travels the globe for casks that have never before touched a drop of Scotch whisky and lets them enter a dialogue with the distillery's peat smoke. This time it's the bold red wine casks from Napa Valley leaving their mark, in the current Batch US/NV 2024/03.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark berries and intense peat smoke mingle with a hint of spice and a light winey sweetness from the red wine casks.

    Palate

    Rich and well balanced, where peat smoke meets ripe fruit, oak and a gentle sweetness from the wine.

    Finish

    Long and lingering, with an elegant combination of smoke and tannin that leaves a rounded finish.

    A universe of smoke, where the peat doesn't just fill the glass but the whole room around it.

    Expert Review

    Ardbeg Smokiverse is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 48.3%.

    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.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dense, sweet peat smoke mingles with lightly smoked tropical fruit, and a drop of water draws the aromas out even further.

    Palate

    Rich and creamy with a luxurious mouthfeel that shifts into sharp, sooty, spiced notes of creosote, aniseed and cloves, balanced by muscovado sugar.

    Finish

    Almost endless, leaving a lasting impression of earthy peat moss melting into glowing bonfire embers.

  • Annandale 10 year old Man O' Sword Cask 39 bottle, peated Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    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.

    Item no.: 0597557-7445

    Not every Arran bottling is light and sweet. This one runs the other way — dark, peaty, and richer than most people expect from this distillery.

    A single bourbon cask, hand-selected for Denmark, with 50 ppm of peat smoke taking the lead role.

    Expert Description

    Arran 2015/2025 Single Cask Denmark 9 Year Old 50 ppm is a Single Islands Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill bourbon barrel and bottled at 59.6%.

    Arran usually distills a lightly peated or unpeated malt, but this single cask is made from barley peated to a full 50 ppm — double the level of the distillery's standard Machrie Moor. Distilled in October 2015, the whisky spent nine years in a single 1st fill bourbon barrel before being bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 246 bottles exist from this cask, all reserved for the Danish market.

    Ulrik Bertelsen from Whisky.dk has tasted it and calls it one of the finest peated releases he has met from Arran — a dram where raw power and aromatic depth meet in fine balance.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Rich peat smoke with hints of bonfire and a touch of iodine, but also an underlying sweetness of vanilla and ripe pear that keeps the nose inviting rather than harsh.

    Palate

    Softer than expected — baked apple and tropical fruit reach the palate first, before the peat smoke rolls in like a warm wave, carried by the bourbon cask's creamy texture.

    Finish

    Long and warming with grilled citrus, white pepper and a dry trace of oak that lingers well after the last sip.

    Item no.: 0533-7745

    Peat smoke, seaweed and sea air with no distillery name to steer your expectations. Clan Denny Islay Edition lets you meet the island on its own terms.

    Expert description

    Clan Denny Islay Edition Small Batch Release is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    Douglas Laing selected the casks as a portrait of Islay as a whole rather than of one particular house. The island has only a handful of working distilleries, and although the source is not disclosed the style is unmistakable: peat smoke, salt and a medicinal edge no other Scottish region delivers in quite the same way. Bottling without chill filtration and without colouring means both texture and colour are as the cask left them.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Peat smoke, sea breeze and a light medicinal note of iodine and seaweed. Under the smoke sit vanilla, honey and a touch of citrus.

    Palate

    Round and silky with a clear balance between sweetness and smoke. Apple caramel, baked pear and candied orange meet salted liquorice, bonfire smoke and a hint of nuts. The oak provides a lightly spiced frame.

    Finish

    Long and persistent with peat smoke, warm spice and a slowly fading sweetness that leaves salt sea air and dark chocolate.

    Islay is only about 40 kilometres long but supplies a wildly disproportionate share of the world's peated whisky. The peat there is formed from moss, heather and seaweed, and it is the seaweed that gives the maritime, iodine-like note you do not find in mainland peat.

    Some whiskies need decades to truly find themselves. This 20-year-old Ballechin is one of the clearest examples of what patience and good oak can do for a peated whisky.

    The expert's description

    Edradour Ballechin 20 years old 2004/2024 Bourbon Barrels is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon casks and bottled at 52.8%.

    The whisky was distilled in the spring of 2004 and spent a full 20 years in bourbon casks before being bottled in March 2024. Those long years on wood have given it an unusual depth, where Ballechin's forceful peat has gradually been softened by the vanilla and sweetness of American oak. With 2,016 bottles, this is one of the larger releases in the series, but still a rare chance to taste what two decades of maturation do to a peated Highland whisky.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Smoked vanilla meets grilled pineapple and heather honey, with hints of leather and dried coconut. Malt and oak sit as a deeper undercurrent.

    Palate

    Silky in texture, where the bourbon cask's sweetness weaves together with layers of peat smoke, caramelised nuts, citrus oil and cinnamon.

    Finish

    Long, warm and lingering, with dried fruit, sweet oak, ash and a hint of dark chocolate.

  • Bottle of Edradour Ballechin 13 yo SFTC 2004/2018 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 059755-7756

    In a green Perthshire valley, Edradour's tiny copper stills have been distilling whisky since 1825. But there's another, smokier side to this quiet farm distillery. Ballechin takes its name from a neighbouring distillery that closed nearly a century ago, and the name now lives on in these heavily peated bottlings.

    The expert's description

    Edradour Ballechin 13 years old SFTC 2004/2018 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a port cask and bottled at 53.3%.

    The whisky belongs to the Straight From The Cask series, where every bottling comes from a single cask with no filtration and no added colour. This particular release was distilled in April 2004 and matured for 13 years in cask no. 199, a port cask that has given the whisky a deep reddish-brown hue and a wine-like sweetness that meets Ballechin's signature peat smoke head-on. The series has long been discontinued, and only 396 bottles were drawn from this one cask.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Red berries and dark chocolate arrive first, quickly followed by pecans and damp oak. The port cask lends a sweet, almost wine-like depth that melts into a heavy, earthy peat smoke.

    Palate

    Strawberries and dark brown sugar sit in layers over the peat, which is present without ever taking over. Spiced oak, caramel and a touch of dried herbs round things off.

    Finish

    Long and lingering, with flamed orange peel, dark smoke and black pepper, closing on warm spice and a sweetness that takes its time to fade.

    Investment potential

    This release is assessed to have high investment potential, largely due to the discontinued SFTC series, only 396 bottles and a single cask bottled at cask strength. This is a general assessment based on available information about rarity and demand, not a guarantee of future value growth.

    Did you know?

    The Ballechin name comes from a small distillery near Edradour that closed in the 1920s — today it lives on as the name for Edradour's peated bottlings.

  • Bottle of Croftengea Jamaican Rum Cask Heavily Peated Whisky from Loch Lomond
    Item no.: 2222777-8663

    Croftengea is Loch Lomond's peated alter ego – the name the distillery uses when the smoke is allowed to run free. This release comes straight from a single cask and takes one last, colourful detour through a Jamaican rum barrel.

    Expert's Description

    Croftengea 2016/2024 Jamaican Rum Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a rum finish and bottled at 53%.

    The whisky was distilled at Loch Lomond in 2016 under the distillery's heavily peated Croftengea profile and, after its time in American oak, was given a final finish in a Jamaican rum cask before being bottled in 2024 by the independent bottler Cooper's Choice. Cask strength and single-cask bottling mean no other bottle is quite like this one.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Heavy smoke and earthy peat meet sweet molasses and preserved tropical fruit from the rum cask.

    Palate

    Full and oily with burnt caramel, black pepper and a wave of cane sugar that ties the smoke together with the rum's sweetness.

    Finish

    Long, smoky finish with lingering spice and a hint of tar.

    Investment Potential

    Medium – single-cask peated Croftengea releases from Cooper's Choice are limited and sought after among collectors of independent bottlings, and the cask strength adds extra appeal for the dedicated collector.

    Did You Know?

    Croftengea is not a distillery in its own right, but the name Loch Lomond uses for its heavily peated style – named after an old farm on the shore of the loch.
