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!

Elements of Islay Cask Edit Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-530

Some smoky whiskies demand that you take a position immediately. Cask Edit is not one of them. It beds the smoke down in something soft and lets you decide how far into it you want to go.
The expert description
Elements of Islay Cask Edit is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 46%.
Where the rest of the range splits by cask type, bourbon on one side and sherry on the other, Cask Edit is where the two meet. Elixir Distillers has built it from smoky malts drawn from several Islay distilleries and let both American oak and sherry wood leave their mark. The bourbon casks give vanilla and body, the sherry casks sweetness and dark fruit, and the smoke runs through all of it without taking charge.
The result is the most approachable release in the range and a sensible place to begin if Islay is still unfamiliar ground. The 46% is chosen so the whisky has enough body to take a drop of water, and it is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting notes
Nose
Soft peat smoke and sea spray, a light mineral edge, and vanilla, citrus and pale fruit behind it.
Palate
Well balanced. Smoke and ash meet caramel, candied fruit and malt, with a discreet sherry sweetness as counterweight.
Finish
Medium length with smoke, oak and a mild spiced warmth.

Elements of Islay took its name and its design from the periodic table, giving each bottling a letter code instead of a distillery name. The idea was that you should judge the whisky on what was inside rather than on the label, and the code was only just difficult enough that most people could crack it.

Kilchoman 2023 PX Sherry Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 059763-615-484

Pedro Ximénez is the sweetest and darkest of all sherry styles — a wine so thick with sun-dried grapes it's almost spoonable. Kilchoman let it work all the way through their spirit, resulting in the distillery's first ever release fully matured in PX casks.
Expert's description
Kilchoman 2023 PX Sherry Cask Matured is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, fully matured in ex-PX Sherry casks for a minimum of five years and bottled at 50 %.
Pedro Ximénez, or simply PX, is made from sun-dried grapes pressed into a thick, dark and intensely sweet wine. The casks that held it give the whisky a markedly different character to drier sherry styles like Fino or Amontillado — here it's all about deep sweetness, dried fruit and an almost syrupy texture.
Because the spirit spent its entire maturation in the PX casks rather than just a short finish, the sweetness is woven deep into the whisky from the start. That makes it one of the darkest and most dessert-like Kilchoman releases to date, with Islay's peat smoke having to work its way through layer upon layer of raisin and caramel.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raisins, prune blossom and dark molasses pour out, backed by toasted walnuts and a deep, sweet peat smoke.
Palate
Intense sweetness from the start — syrup, dates and dark chocolate — before the smoke slowly takes over, bringing balance with a dry, ashy edge.
Finish
Long, sweet and smoky at once, with a final trace of liquorice and toasted oak.

Kilchoman 16 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 059763-615-483

Kilchoman was founded in 2005, so a 16 year old bottling isn't just an age statement — it's basically the distillery's entire lifetime captured in one glass. It's the oldest official Kilchoman ever to leave the warehouse.
Expert's description
Kilchoman 16 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 16 years and bottled at 50 %.
The whisky is built from 21 selected casks, mainly ex-bourbon with a smaller proportion of ex-oloroso sherry casks that add depth and a hint of darker fruit. At 16 years old, it's the longest maturation Kilchoman has ever put its name to, and a rare chance to taste what happens when the distillery's young, energetic style is allowed to mature far beyond most of the house's other releases.
The long maturation in Kilchoman's warehouses by the Atlantic has given the spirit time to settle and round out, without losing the citrus-fresh smoke that defines the distillery. The result is a whisky that's both deeper and more complex than the younger core range, yet unmistakably Kilchoman.
Tasting notes
Nose
Ripe apples and honey meet dried apricot and a deep, earthy peat smoke, with a hint of vanilla and old oak underneath.
Palate
Full and round, with caramel, toasted nuts and a warm spice note that slowly lets the smoke take over alongside a light sherry sweetness.
Finish
Long and dry, with lingering smoke, dark chocolate and a final, gentle sweetness from the sherry casks.

The Deacon Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 059763-615-477

A tribute to the masters of any craft, where every drop is distilled with the same pride a craftsman pours into a life's work.
Expert description
The Deacon is a blended Scotch whisky with no age statement, bottled at 40% ABV by Sovereign Brands in partnership with Pernod Ricard.

Tasting notes
Nose
Soft grain, honey and a light vanilla sweetness that welcomes without overwhelming.

Campbeltown Loch Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-471

Where the Kintyre peninsula runs into the sea and the waves still roll into Campbeltown Loch, the story of Scotland's smallest and once most famous whisky region lives on. This bottle gathers that story into a single glass - the three distilleries still keeping Campbeltown alive.
Expert Description
Campbeltown Loch is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky composed of single malt whisky from all three of the region's distilleries and bottled at 46%.
Behind the bottle stands J&A Mitchell & Co, the owners of Springbank Distillery, who blend malt from Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle into a shared tribute to Campbeltown. Springbank itself contributes three different styles to the overall character - the lighter Hazelburn, the medium-peated Springbank and the heavily peated Longrow - matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The result is a blend that gathers the region's maritime salinity, cask fruit and a whisper of smoke into one glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft peach and apricot meet honey and a touch of citrus zest, while a hint of salty soot lingers in the background.
Palate
Oily in texture with herbaceous notes creeping in beneath sweet vanilla caramel and juicy baked fruit. Salty sea spray and baking spice keep it balanced, with a whisper of peat poking through.
Finish
Long and warming, with smoked almonds, oak and a maritime salinity that never quite lets go - a dry, earthy close.

Longrow 21 years old Limited Edition 2023 Peated Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-462

Where the Mull of Kintyre runs out into the sea and the water keeps hammering at granite and kelp, the old pot stills still fire up a different kind of Campbeltown whisky. Longrow is the peated sibling of Springbank, and in this 21 year old 2023 release, time has softened the smoke into something almost sweet.
Expert Description
Longrow 21 Year Old Limited Edition 2023 is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, matured in a combination of sherry and bourbon casks and bottled at 46%.
Longrow is the most heavily peated of the three styles produced at Springbank Distillery, alongside the medium-peated Springbank and the unpeated, triple-distilled Hazelburn. The barley is dried over peat smoke for up to 48 hours before it is milled, mashed and fermented using the same old-fashioned methods as the rest of the distillery's output. The 21 year old is the oldest standing release in the Longrow range, and this 2023 vintage draws its character from roughly 65% sherry casks and 35% bourbon casks, a combination that lends the smoke a sweetness rarely found in younger expressions.
Tasting Notes
Nose
A savoury, slightly tangy note greets you first, followed by hazelnut and blackcurrant. Underneath sits a hint of tanned leather and smoked ham.
Palate
A syrupy sweetness coats the palate, where cola bottles and cigar-box tobacco play off each other while the smoke stays in the background like a warm, whispering bass note.
Finish
The finish is pure Longrow: shingle beach, wet flint and seaweed, as if the sea itself washes over the palate one last time.

Caol Ila 5 year old Murray McDavid Justino Maderia Cask finish Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky alc 51,5%

Item no.: 22227865364-35465799999

Five years is a short time. But Murray McDavid knew what they had – a young, vibrant Caol Ila distillate that needed a pivot point. Justino Madeira casks from the Atlantic island provided it: a sweet, slightly oxidised wine sweetness meeting the young smoke halfway.
Expert's description
Caol Ila 5 Years Murray McDavid Benchmark Series Justino Madeira Cask Finish is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 2018, bottled in 2023 at 51.5% with a Justino Madeira cask finish, without chill filtration and with natural colour.
Murray McDavid is a Scottish bottler with a long history and a clear philosophy: find interesting casks, experiment with unexpected combinations and bottle with respect for the distillate's character. The Benchmark Series is the line of larger batches – this batch yielded 1,803 bottles.
Justino Madeira's casks – from the Portuguese Atlantic island – are known for their sweet, nutty and lightly oxidised profile. Caol Ila's young smoke meets it and produces an expression both fresh and surprisingly complex for its age.
Tasting notes
Nose
Young, fresh Caol Ila smoke meets sweet, nutty Madeira notes. Dried fruit, a warm spice note and a hint of salt.
Palate
Light and fresh with a sweet Madeira frame around Caol Ila's smoke. Toffee, light citrus and a slightly medicinal edge showing the distillate's youth.
Finish
Relatively short but fresh. Smoke and Madeira sweetness close with light saltiness and a little pepper.

Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Batch #1 Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 50 cl 48.4%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1957568483930205

Peat and bourbon are two things that don't always go hand in hand. But Mosgaard has done it – and batch number one is here. Peated malt meets the bourbon cask's vanilla and sweetness in an organic Danish expression at 48.4%.
Expert description
Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Batch #1 is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48.4% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the first batch in Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon series – peated malt matured in ex-bourbon casks. It is a combination that creates an interesting contrast: the smoke from the peat meets the sweet vanilla and caramel of the bourbon cask, and the result is a smoky expression with a softer, fruitier edge than typical peated whiskies matured in ex-sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoky peat with the bourbon cask's sweet vanilla and caramel underneath. An interesting intersection of smoke and sweetness.
Palate
Fresh smoke with bourbon vanilla, light citrus sweetness and grain in the background. The bourbon cask softens the peat and gives a more fruity and approachable smoke style.
Finish
Medium long with lingering smoke and a soft, lightly vanilla-sweet close from the bourbon cask.

Did you know?
Ex-bourbon casks are one of the most widely used cask types in the whisky world – but the combination with peated malt is relatively uncommon. Most peated single malts use ex-sherry casks to amplify the smoke. Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon Batch #1 does the opposite and gives the peat a light, fresh bourbon foundation instead of a dark, fruity sherry base.

Clan Colla Family Bond 11 years old Ahascragh Distillery Blended Irish Whiskey 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-330

Three cask types at once is rare for an Irish blend, but Clan Colla Family Bond 11 Year Old dares to try. The result is a whiskey with more layers than most of its peers.
Expert Review
Clan Colla Family Bond 11 Year Old is a Blended Irish Whiskey matured in Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry and peated casks, bottled at 46%.
The whiskey is a smooth yet complex blend of double distilled malt whiskey combined with grain whiskey. The triple cask maturation across ex-Bourbon casks, Oloroso Sherry casks and peated casks brings together sweetness, depth and a hint of smoke in one glass. The expression has previously won gold at the Irish Whiskey Masters and the Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition.
Tasting Notes

Dark fruit and sherry sweetness, with a subtle hint of smoke in the background.
Palate
Caramel and dried fruit meet a light, smoky spice character from the peated casks.

Famous Grouse Miniature Smoky Black Blended Scotch Whisky 5 cl 40%

Item no.: 059763-615-289

The black label signals what has happened here: somebody has laid peat smoke underneath the soft Grouse profile. The result is not an Islay whisky, but it is not the same bird as before either.
The expert description
Famous Grouse Smoky Black is a Blended Scotch Whisky made with peated malt, bottled at 40% in a 5 cl bottle.
The release was originally called The Black Grouse and was later renamed Smoky Black. The recipe takes the classic blend and raises the proportion of peated malt whisky, so the smoke becomes a load bearing element rather than a seasoning. The underlying honey and fruit are still there, but they now sit behind a sooty foreground.
The miniature is a sensible way to settle whether the style is for you. Smoky blends divide opinion, and 5 cl is enough to answer the question without committing to a full bottle.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dry smoke and bonfire ash first, then honey and dried fruit working their way up through it.
Palate
Soft and sweet at the base with the smoke as a clear frame. Malt, vanilla and a touch of dark chocolate as the peat builds.
Finish
Medium and sooty with a dry, almost peppery close.

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.

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.

Port Charlotte 2013 PMC:01 Bruichladdich 9 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 54.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-235

Islay speaks with many voices, but Port Charlotte's is deep, briny and thick with tar. PMC:01 is the sixth release in the distillery's Cask Exploration series, where the peated Islay character meets the fruit-laden oak of Pomerol wine casks for the very first time.

Expert description

Port Charlotte 2013 PMC:01 is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, first matured in bourbon casks and later finished in French Pomerol wine casks, bottled at 54.5%.

Port Charlotte is Bruichladdich distillery's peated single malt, distilled on the same Victorian equipment on Islay's west coast as the distillery's unpeated core range, but taken to a far higher phenol level. PMC:01 is made from Concerto barley peated to 40 ppm and is the sixth bottling in the Cask Exploration series, where the distillery studies what different cask types do to the same peated spirit.

The whisky was distilled in 2013 and spent its first four years in first-fill bourbon casks, before being moved in 2017 into Pomerol wine casks from Bordeaux's Right Bank, one of the world's most sought-after red wine regions. It's the first time Port Charlotte spirit has been allowed to mature in this cask type, and the result is a whisky where salty Islay peat meets dark berries and tanned leather from the wine casks.

Tasting notes

Nose

Blackberry, plum and tanned leather sit on top of a solid base of peat smoke and brine. A tart edge of red berries, a touch of rose and a whisper of honey soften the maritime weight.

Palate

Dry smoke and salt water arrive first, quickly followed by dark berries, clove and a deep, leathery tannin from the wine casks. The fruit is sweet without tipping into sugariness, and the peat keeps everything grounded with an earthy weight.

Finish

Long and smoky, with a finish of dried plums, spiced clove and a whisper of ash that lingers well after the last sip.

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.

Edradour Ballechin 2005/2023 Burgundy Cask 17 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 53.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-164

Burgundy casks are known for their finesse in the wine world, and that same finesse shows up in this 17-year-old Ballechin, where the smoke gets company from something more delicate.
The expert's description
Edradour Ballechin 2005/2023 Burgundy Cask 17 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill Burgundy hogsheads and bottled at 53.5%.
The whisky was distilled in November 2005 and matured for 17 years across two 1st fill Burgundy casks, numbers 327 and 334, before being bottled in July 2023. The Burgundy cask's delicate red fruit character meets Ballechin's peat smoke and gives the whisky a surprisingly elegant, almost delicate profile for a peated whisky. 2,103 bottles were released.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raspberry and blackcurrant sit finely over an earthy smoke, with a hint of violet and fresh forest floor.
Palate
Delicate and fruity with red berries and a touch of pepper, before a soft, warm smoke emerges underneath.
Finish
Medium length with dry fruit acidity, light smoke and a fine, spiced finish.

Edradour Ballechin 2004/2023 Madeira Cask 19 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 53.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-162

Two Madeira casks, 19 years of patience and Ballechin's insistent peat — the result is a whisky that feels both sun-warmed and smoky at once.
The expert's description
Edradour Ballechin 2004/2023 Madeira Cask 19 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Madeira puncheons and bottled at 53.5%.
The whisky was distilled in April 2004 and matured for 19 years across two Madeira puncheons, cask no. 184 and 189, before being bottled in July 2023. The Madeira's characteristic, lightly oxidised sweetness has melted into Ballechin's peat smoke, creating a whisky with both sun-ripened fruit character and earthy smoke. Only 1,323 bottles were drawn.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried apricot and caramelised sugar meet an earthy, faintly medicinal smoke, with a hint of toasted nuts underneath.
Palate
Sweet and full-bodied with raisin, burnt sugar and walnut, before a warm, lingering peat smoke takes over.
Finish
Long, with notes of dried fig, soot and a fine, bitter cocoa tone.

Investment potential
This release is assessed to have medium investment potential, largely due to 19 years of maturation on just two Madeira casks and a limited bottle count. This is a general assessment based on available information about rarity and demand, not a guarantee of future value growth.
Did you know?
Madeira casks were historically popular for whisky maturation because the fortified wine from Madeira held up well during long sea voyages — a tradition that today lives on as a sought-after but rare cask type.

Bunnahabhain 2013/2023 Signatory Vintage 9 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 059763-615-158

On the shore of the Sound of Islay, Bunnahabhain lets time do the work, while the tide between Islay and Jura pulls past the end of the single-track road.
Please note: there is rust and scuffing on the tube and on the bottle's label.
Expert's Description
Bunnahabhain 2013/2023 Signatory Vintage 9 Years Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill Pinot Noir red wine butt and bottled at 46%.
Signatory Vintage has bought casks from distilleries across Scotland since 1988 and bottled them under its own name, without dressing the spirit up as something it isn't. This Bunnahabhain from 2013 was drawn from two casks, #13 and #15, and spent nine years pulling colour and spice from the red wine wood before being bottled in March 2023.
The base spirit is the distillery's rarer peated make, known as Staoisha, which gives the whisky an extra layer of smoke beneath the wine cask's fruity sweetness – a combination you don't see from Islay every day.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Red berries and a tart wine sweetness meet a faint peaty smoke in the background, tied together by a hint of fresh bread.
Palate
Juicy and full with cherry and blackcurrant, sliding into a warm, spiced smoke and a touch of dark chocolate.
Finish
Medium length and slightly dry, with the smoke the last thing to fade.

Meikle Toir 5 years old The Chinquapin One Peated Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

Item no.: 059763-615-143

Chinquapin is an American oak species you rarely encounter in Scotch whisky – at Meikle Tòir it becomes a surprisingly spicy frame around the distillery's smoky style.
Expert description
Meikle Tòir 5 Year Old The Chinquapin One is a peated Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in virgin oak casks made from chinquapin oak, bottled at 48%.
Meikle Tòir is GlenAllachie's peated sister series, launched in 2023. The name means "the big pursuit" in Scottish Gaelic. The whisky undergoes a fermentation of around 160 hours, markedly longer than usual, giving the spirit a fruitiness that plays off the peat smoke. The peat comes from the Scottish mainland and sits at around 35 PPM.
The Chinquapin One is named after the American oak species chinquapin, used for the virgin oak casks in this release. Chinquapin oak is rare in Scotch whisky production and known for imparting a more intense and spicy character than common American white oak.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers peated smoke alongside sweet vanilla and freshly sawn wood, with a spicy undercurrent of coconut and lightly toasted caramel from the chinquapin oak.
Palate
The palate combines smoke with a pronounced sweetness of vanilla and butterscotch, while the oak's spice gives a touch of pepper and dry wood structure.
Finish
The finish is smoky and lightly sweet, with a dry, spiced ending where the oak lingers long after the smoke has faded.

Item no.: 059763-615-142

Smoke and sherry sweetness in the same glass sounds like a contradiction, but at Meikle Tòir it is exactly that contrast that drives the story forward.
Expert description
Meikle Tòir 5 Year Old The Sherry One is a peated Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in PX and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 48%.
Meikle Tòir is GlenAllachie's peated sister series, launched in 2023. The name means "the big pursuit" in Scottish Gaelic and refers to the distillery's search for a peated style that still carries GlenAllachie's signature. The whisky undergoes an unusually long fermentation of around 160 hours, giving a spirit with more fruit and depth than you would normally associate with peated whisky. The peat comes from the Scottish mainland and sits at around 35 PPM.
The Sherry One is matured in a combination of PX and Oloroso sherry casks, layering dark fruit sweetness on top of the smoke.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoke greets you first, quickly followed by dark sherry sweetness – think plum jam and cane sugar – with an underlying aroma of ash and dried seaweed.
Palate
The palate offers peated smoke and stewed dark fruit side by side, with baking spices and a touch of dark chocolate tying the two sides together.
Finish
The finish is long and smoky, with a sweet tail of sherry that slowly gives way to ash.

Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Limited Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Item no.: 059763-615-104

Cognac and Islay peat sounds like an unlikely pairing — until you taste it. Kilchoman sourced casks from a single French cognac house and let them lay a layer of dried fruit and warm spice over their spirit, without the smoke ever losing ground.
Expert's description
Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Limited Release is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in ex-cognac casks and bottled at 50 %.
The casks come from Bossuet Cooperage in France and all originate from the same cognac house — a detail that ensures a consistent, characterful cask influence across the whole release. The 300-litre casks previously held cognac, itself double distilled in copper pot stills and matured for a minimum of two years in French oak, typically Limousin, before being emptied and refilled with new-make Kilchoman spirit.
The result builds on Kilchoman's classic house style — citrus-fresh peat smoke carried on Islay's coastal air — while adding an extra layer of dried fruit, caramel and warm spice from the cognac casks' history. It's a release that shows how much a single cask type can shift a whisky without it losing its identity.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried apricots and orange peel meet caramel and a hint of freshly brewed coffee, while the peat smoke sits as a calm undercurrent throughout.
Palate
Soft and spiced, with notes of raisin, honey and warm cinnamon that slowly give way to a rising wave of Islay smoke and a touch of dark chocolate.
Finish
Medium length, dry and spiced, with lingering smoke and a final hint of the cognac casks' sweet oak character.

Expert Review
Macbeth First Witch 19 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Ardbeg, matured in Pedro Ximenez casks and bottled at 51.7%.
First Witch is the opening bottle in the Witches series, part of Livingstone's wider Macbeth Collection, where every release is named after a character from Shakespeare's tragedy and illustrated by British artist Quentin Blake. Underneath the imaginative label sits an unadulterated Ardbeg, left to rest on Pedro Ximenez casks so it can pull both sweetness and depth from the dark sherry wood. 1,800 bottles of this release were filled.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tar and peat smoke meet a deep, dark sweetness of dried fig and raisin, with a hint of fish leather in the background.
Palate
Bold and oily, where the smoke is carried by syrupy sweetness, dark chocolate and a touch of salted liquorice.
Finish
Long, dry and smoky, with a final wave of spiced sherry and ash from an old bonfire.

Blackadder Raw Cask Peat Reek Embers 2018 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-30

Embers are what is left when the flames have gone out but the heat keeps going. That is a fair description of what peat smoke does to a whisky bottled without a filter.
Expert description
Blackadder Raw Cask Peat Reek Embers 2018 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at cask strength, 58.5%, without chill filtration and without added colour.
Embers is a variation on Blackadder's Peat Reek theme, bottled in May 2018 in a run of 620 bottles. As across the series the distillery is not disclosed, but the whisky is an Islay single malt and peat is the load-bearing component. The bottling strength sits slightly below the 2016 release, which gives a rounder expression.
The Raw Cask method means the whisky is only coarsely filtered before bottling. The result is a texture noticeably fatter than conventionally bottled whisky, and a flavour with nothing sanded off.
Tasting notes
Nose
Embers and wet ash, with sweet barley, salted liquorice and a little grilled lemon. An earthy, almost loamy note sits beneath the smoke.
Palate
Thick and round with soot, caramel and peppery spice. The smoke is constantly present, but cask sweetness keeps it from drying out.
Finish
Long and warm with ash, seaweed and a final flick of salt.

Annandale Distillery was founded in 1836 as one of Scotland's first legal distilleries, but closed in 1918 while owned by none other than Johnnie Walker. The distillery lay derelict for nearly a century, until Professor David Thomson and Teresa Church read about it in the book 'Scotch Missed: Lost Distilleries of Scotland', tracked down the ruined building, bought the site in 2007 and reopened the distillery in 2014 after extensive restoration. The distillery produces two main expressions: the unpeated Man O'Words and the peated Man O'Sword, continuing the distillery's historic tradition of smoky whisky.

If Talisker Storm is a strong wind out of the west, Dark Storm is that same storm after it has picked up speed over open water. This 100cl bottling matures in heavily charred casks and heads in a deeper, darker direction than its smaller sibling.
Note: This release has been discontinued from Talisker's core range.
Expert Description
Talisker Dark Storm is a no-age-statement Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in heavily charred American oak casks and bottled at 45.8%. It has been discontinued from the distillery's core range, but builds on the same base recipe as Talisker Storm.
The heavy charring of the casks gives a deeper, smokier character than the standard Storm, without losing the distillery's salty, peppery core. The 100cl size makes it a natural bottle for sharing, or for anyone wanting more whisky per bottle.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is sweet with butterscotch and honey, followed by briny, salty notes and a distinct smokiness that builds towards the end.
Palate
The palate offers vanilla and butterscotch sweetness sliding into sea salt and seaweed, with an earthy, faintly nutty edge.
Finish
The finish closes salty and smoky, with a warm, lingering note of charred wood.

Mister Peat Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 2222786546-3002

A secret source distillery hides behind a name that makes no secret of its focus.
Expert description
Mister Peat Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and with no added colour. Mister Peat is the label from independent bottler Fox Fitzgerald, run by Eamon Jones and Aidan Smith, who specialise in heavily peated single malts from an undisclosed Scottish distillery. By keeping the source distillery anonymous, the bottler can focus marketing entirely on the whisky's character rather than its origin.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers intense peat smoke, bonfire and a hint of salt.
Palate
The palate is powerful with peat, iodine and a touch of sweetness.
Finish
The finish is long, smoky and salty.

Bowmore 1997/2023 Symingtons Choice 25 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55,9%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0210

An Oloroso sherry butt that waited 25 years. Distilled in 1997, bottled in 2023 — and somewhere in between, Bowmore's peat and coastline merged with the cask's dark fruit in a way that simply cannot be planned.
Expert's description
Bowmore 1997/2023 Symingtons Choice 25 Year is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled as a Single Cask from an Oloroso Sherry Butt at 55.9%. Signatory Vintage released the Symingtons Choice series in 2023 as a tribute to founder Andrew Symington — a collection of carefully selected, aged single casks from Scotland's finest distilleries. This Bowmore from 1997 was drawn from cask no. 2422, a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, at full cask strength. Distilled on 23 September 1997 and bottled on 9 February 2023 — exactly 25 years in cask. During that time, the sherry and the whisky's maritime DNA slowly found one another: dark fruit and smoke, sea air and oak. Non-chill filtered, natural colour. Bottle 427 of 616.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and warming. Dried plums, dark orange marmalade and fig. Behind it, Bowmore's characteristic sea salt and restrained smoke — now wrapped in sherry depth and beeswax.
Taste
Full and concentrated. Figs, dark chocolate and orange peel. The peat is present but gentle — a background note rather than the main event. Oak tannins give structure.
Finish
Very long and complex. Dried fruits, spice and lingering coastal smokiness. Dark chocolate and leather develop slowly as the glass empties.
