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!
  • Akkeshi Boshu 2021 bottle with Japanese calligraphy
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727916

    Boshu is the name of one of the 24 traditional Japanese seasonal periods - a reminder of how closely Akkeshi's whisky is tied to the rhythm of nature.

    Expert Description

    Akkeshi Boshu 2021 is a Peated Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 55%.

    Akkeshi Distillery is located on Hokkaido and was founded in 2016 with a clear ambition to create a Japanese counterpart to Islay whisky. Each release in the Kanreki series is named after one of the 24 sekki, traditional Japanese solar calendar periods, and Boshu marks the time when the grain is ripe for harvest.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Peated smoke, sea salt and ripe grain fields.

    Palate

    Intense with smoke, pepper and a hint of sweetness.

    Finish

    Long and peaty with lingering spice.

  • Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated 2021 bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727908

    Miyagikyo is known for its floral gentleness, but this Discovery edition shows the distillery in a completely different, smoky disguise.

    Expert Description

    Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated 2021 is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 48%.

    This edition is the sibling release to Yoichi Non-Peated from the same Discovery series, forming a deliberate counterpart: Miyagikyo, normally known for its soft, floral style, is bottled here with peat, giving a surprising smoky character rarely associated with the distillery.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Smoky fruit, honey and a light salty note.

    Palate

    Complex with smoke, apple and a hint of spice.

    Finish

    Medium length with lingering smoke.

    Investment perspective

    A peated Miyagikyo is a rarity, as the distillery normally produces in a softer style, making Discovery releases like this particularly attractive to collectors of Japanese whisky.

    Did You Know?

    Miyagikyo was originally built to complement Yoichi's powerful style with something softer - peating Miyagikyo therefore turns the distillery's basic purpose on its head.

  • Ardbeg Still Young 1998/2006 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottle
    Item no.: 505956-689457-4

    Eight years on cask, yet far from tame, a whisky that insists on staying young and untamed.

    Expert Review

    Ardbeg Still Young 1998/2006 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 1998, bottled in 2006 after 8 years of maturation, non-chill filtered at 56.2%.

    The name Still Young is the distillery's own comment on the fact that, despite its age, the whisky still behaves like a young, raw Ardbeg, with all the intensity that entails.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Raw peat and a distinct youthful sharpness, underpinned by a light sweetness from the casks.

    Palate

    Intense smoke and a marked phenolic edge, direct and uncompromising in the style of the distillery's younger releases.

    Finish

    Long and smoky, with a lasting dryness that ties it all together.

  • Bottle of Kilchoman Kolding Whiskylaug cask 102 Islay Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 505956-689457-2

    Three weeks before cask number 130 was filled, this cask, number 102, was laid to rest in the same warehouse. Ten years later the two neighbouring casks were bottled on the same day — but they taste far from identical.

    Expert's description

    Kilchoman 2007/2017 Kolding Whiskylaug is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 10 years old from a single bourbon cask and bottled at 55.1 %.

    The whisky was distilled on 16 May 2007 and bottled on 25 August 2017 from cask number 102. Like its companion cask 130, it was selected exclusively for Kolding Whiskylaug af 1999, but this time with only 240 numbered bottles in total.

    The small difference in strength, 55.1 % against cask 130's 55 %, is a small testament to how differently two casks from the same warehouse can develop over ten years of maturation — a reminder of why single cask whisky can never be repeated.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Powerful peat notes meet dried fruit and sea salt, with a touch more spice than its companion cask.

    Palate

    Full and complex, with layers of peated malt, dried fruit, dark chocolate and subtle tones of oak and spice.

    Finish

    Long, warm and smoky, with lingering notes of peat, vanilla and a hint of citrus.

    Item no.: 505956-689457-1

    A full decade in a single bourbon cask, selected for the members of one of Denmark's whisky clubs. This bottle from the Kolding Whiskylaug series is a testament to what patience and a well-chosen cask can do for an Islay spirit.

    Expert's description

    Kilchoman 2007/2017 Kolding Whiskylaug is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 10 years old from a single bourbon cask and bottled at 55 %.

    Ten years of maturation in a single bourbon cask gives the whisky a depth and structure that clearly sets it apart from Kilchoman's younger standard releases, while the distillery's characteristic peated Islay style remains intact.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Powerful peat notes meet dried fruit and sea salt, with a hint of spice and old oak.

    As the second release in the Small Batch Cask Strength series, this 15-year-old Ballechin continues the line from the 1st Release, but matured in used 1st fill bourbon barrels and 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, which gives a slightly more subdued cask influence than an exclusively 1st fill maturation. 3,461 bottles were released to the global market.

    Smoked caramel and ripe plums, with a lighter sherry note than in the 1st Release and a touch of fresh tar.

    Expert Description

    Item no.: 505956-807534-780

    A screen-printed label from the 1990s, a classic Bowmore 12 Year and the unmistakable Islay identity. This is the bottle many people remember as their first real Islay malt — and as a collector's piece, it is now more sought-after than ever.

    Expert's description

    Bowmore 12 Year Old Version is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 40%. This is the screen-printed edition from the 1990s — a format that has been discontinued and marks a specific chapter in Bowmore's design history. Screen printing directly onto the glass bottle was the standard for the export market at the time, and today it is a marker for collectors of historical whiskies. The contents are classic Bowmore 12 Year: matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks in the iconic No. 1 Vaults, partially below sea level. At 40%, with light peat smoke, honey, citrus and sea salt — Bowmore from the ground up.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Light peat smoke, honey and a little citrus. A salty sea breeze and a hint of vanilla. Inviting and accessible.

    Soft and balanced. Heather honey and ripe fruit, the smoke drawing discreetly through and giving Islay character without overpowering.

    Tasting Notes

    Spiced rye and peat in close interplay, with a dry sharpness from the rye casks.

    Palate

    Full cask strength gives an intense, spiced structure, with smoke and rye grain dominating.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278388

    Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest sherry that exists – thick, dark and almost syrupy. When Caol Ila's peat smoke encounters seven months in PX hogsheads, the result is surprisingly subtle: the sweetness works its way into the smoke and gives it a fruity, dried dimension.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon hogshead casks with a finish in Ximenez-Spinola PX sherry hogshead casks (nos. 2005618/19/23), bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series is an experimental line that systematically explores cask combinations in larger batches. The PX finish here lasts seven months – short enough to preserve Caol Ila's character, long enough for the Spanish dessert wine to leave its mark.

    1,242 bottles were produced. Ximenez-Spinola is one of the most acclaimed PX houses in Jerez, and it is from them that Murray McDavid sourced these casks.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit – raisins and dark plums – blends with Caol Ila's maritime smoke. A note of mocha and orange peel gives depth.

    Palate

    Delicate and fruity. Smoke and PX sweetness find each other in good balance. Mocha, dark dried fruit and a soft, lightly oily texture.

    Finish

    Gentle and lingering. Smoke and sweetness fade side by side with a fresh note of smoke and fruit at the end.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278387

    The world of Cognac and Islay whisky rarely meet – they pull in very different directions. But Murray McDavid found a cask that made them listen to each other: a bourbon hogshead with a finish in first-fill Cognac casks, and Caol Ila's smoke blending with the French spirit's sweetness.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon hogshead casks with a finish in first-fill Cognac casks (nos. 1925785/193/194), bottled at 50% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series systematically experiments with unusual cask combinations in larger batches. This batch produced 1,694 bottles. The 14-month finish in Cognac casks contributes a sweet, lightly winey complexity lifting it above a simple bourbon profile.

    Caol Ila at six years is fresh and direct – the smoke is clear, the distillate body is present, and the Cognac finish adds a sweeter frame without erasing the distillate's maritime character.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sweet and smoky at once. Sweet peat, ginger and apple – the Cognac cask adds a lightly fruity glow behind Caol Ila's typical maritime smoke.

    Palate

    Soft and fruity with good body. Caramel and smoke meet notes of ginger and apple. The Cognac sweetness is discreet but notable.

    Finish

    Clean and fresh with salted caramel and a light medicinal Caol Ila note at the end.

    Item no.: 222234444777-85214

    A distillery that cannot be named, but a flavour that cannot hide. Scarabus is Hunter Laing's greeting from Islay's peat fields.

    Expert's Description

    Scarabus 10 Year Old Whisky is a Single Islay Malt Whisky from Hunter Laing, bottled at 46% after 10 years of maturation.

    The source distillery is undisclosed, but the earthy, peat-smoked character clearly reveals its Islay origin. Hunter Laing uses the name Scarabus — a scarab, the Egyptian symbol of renewal — as an umbrella for their independent Islay bottlings.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Rich, earthy peat smoke meets leather and menthol, softened by syrup and honey.

    Palate

    Round and smoky with a honeyed sweetness that balances the maritime peat.

    Finish

    Long, smooth and seductive with lingering smoke and a final note of leather.

    Item no.: 2222666333-88852

    There is Islay whisky you have to work up to. This is not one of them. Original is the way into the range and into the island, peat, salt and malt in the most direct form it can be done.

    The expert description

    Finlaggan Original is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

    The malt comes from an undisclosed Islay distillery and The Vintage Malt Whisky Company of Glasgow handles the bottling. It is a model where the distillery sells casks on without wanting its name on the label, and in return you get an island malt on a far more straightforward shelf than the official releases occupy.

    The bourbon wood provides the bright frame and 40% keeps it light. This is not a whisky trying to impress. It is trying to be a good Islay dram, and it succeeds.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Peat smoke first, then malt and a pale sweetness, with a seaweed and salt note that recalls a coastline a couple of hundred metres away.

    Palate

    Direct and malty. The smoke carries while caramel and apple sit beneath, and a lightly peppered edge rises towards the close.

    Finish

    Short to medium, dry and smoky with a final scatter of salt.

    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.

    Finish

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

  • BenRiach Smoke Season Double Cask peated Single Speyside Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22253333669-8875

    BenRiach makes peated whisky a few weeks a year, and some of that peated malt runs heavier than the rest. Smoke Season is built from the most heavily peated malt the house holds, bottled at a strength that does not let the smoke slip away.

    The expert's description

    BenRiach Smoke Season Double Cask is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky without an age statement, matured in bourbon casks and virgin oak and bottled at 52.8 %.

    The bottling was assembled by Master Blender Rachel Barrie and uses the most heavily peated malt at the distillery. Speyside is not known for smoke, and BenRiach is one of the few distilleries in the region producing peated spirit as a fixed part of the year.

    The two cask types pull in different directions. The bourbon wood gives vanilla and bright sweetness, while virgin oak, meaning fresh oak that has never held anything before, lays spice and a dry wood structure on top. Together they hold the smoke in place without muting it.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Powerful peat smoke with burnt sugar, vanilla and a note of toasted wood.

    Palate

    Dense and smoky with caramel, black pepper and spiced fresh oak. The strength carries the smoke all the way without letting it turn dry.

    Finish

    Long and warm with lingering smoke, wood and a last touch of sweetness.

    The whisky is the second release in Mackmyra's Svensk Rök series and is made from local ingredients with no additives.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Primarily defined by smoke, but with layers of spice, fruit, caramel, ginger, herbs, vanilla, toasted oak, salt, minerals and tobacco leaf.

    Palate

    Plenty of peat and salt, redder than on the nose, balanced with spiced oak, vanilla, toasted tones, caramel, pear and candied figs.

    Israel's first single malt distillery imports peat from far away and lets the Israeli sun mature every cask.

    Expert description

    Milk & Honey Elements Peated is an Israeli Single Malt Whisky matured in oak casks. Milk & Honey Distillery was founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv and was Israel's first commercial whisky distillery, with its first bottles released in 2018. The name comes from the biblical description of Israel as the land 'flowing with milk and honey'. The Elements range is the distillery's core lineup, with the Peated expression made from imported peated malt, while Israel's warm climate and wide temperature swings significantly accelerate maturation compared to traditional whisky regions.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers smoke, honey and a hint of dried figs.

    Palate

    The palate is round with smoky malt, caramel and warm spice.

  • Bottle of Octomore Ten Dialogos, a 10-year-old super-peated whisky
    Item no.: 22227865413-11-10

    Dialogos means conversation, and that's exactly what happens in this glass. Ten years of maturation talks down Octomore's raw strength, without ever falling silent.

    Expert description

    Octomore Ten Dialogos is a super-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Bruichladdich, matured for 10 years and bottled at 54.3%.

    The whisky is peated to 208 ppm and matured in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and fresh Virgin Oak casks. Although it carries one of the highest ppm counts in its series, it comes across as more restrained in smoke, precisely because ten years of maturation has rounded off the edges.

    Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2020, Dialogos shows how time can transform an extremely peated whisky without extinguishing its character.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Salt, honey and tropical fruit such as pineapple and mango, with the peat smoke sitting as a deep, earthy base.

    Palate

    Item no.: 22227865388-6879

    Expert description

    Bivrost Nidavellir Arctic Single Malt Norwegian Whisky is part of the distillery's series named after the Nine Realms of Old Norse mythology, bottled at 46%. Bivrost is distilled at Aurora Spirit Distillery in Lyngen, northern Norway, 69 degrees north of the equator, making it one of the world's northernmost distilleries. Construction began in 2016, and the name Bivrost comes from Old Norse mythology, where it denotes the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth — a nod to the Northern Lights often seen above the distillery. Local botanicals and glacial meltwater are used in production.
