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.

Penderyn Serpents Tears First Release Single Malt Welsh Whisky 46%

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.

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.

Scarabus Cigar Malt Edition Hunter Laing Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 222249-12235

There's a bottle on Islay nobody will name a name for. Behind the bronze label with its hidden symbols sits a peated dram, born to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe. Scarabus means "a rocky place" in Old Norse - and that's about as much as the Laing family are willing to give away.
Expert's Description
Scarabus Cigar Malt is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, fully matured across Oloroso sherry casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Ruby Port casks, and bottled at 46%.
Scarabus Cigar Malt is the newest addition to Hunter Laing's Scarabus collection, and it stands apart from the other expressions through its cask composition. Where the original bottling sticks to a more classic maturation, Cigar Malt is matured simultaneously across three cask types - Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez and Ruby Port - each layering something different on top of the signature Islay peat. The source distillery is undisclosed, as is tradition across the whole Scarabus range, though the depth of the smoke and the oily texture hint at one of the island's better-known peated producers.
The name Cigar Malt is no accident. The whisky is built to hold its own against a bold cigar without either one drowning the other out - cocoa, roasted notes and a persistent smokiness give it the weight for it.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich and generous with candied orange peel, stewed red berries and almonds, while an earthy peat works through underneath.
Palate
Dry peat smoke layers with dark treacle, dark fruit and a gentle, toasted sweetness from the casks.
Finish
Long and warming, with a rounded sweetness that lingers well after the last sip.

The symbols on the Scarabus label are deliberately cryptic and draw on islander John Francis Campbell's invention, a sunshine recorder that tracked the hours of daylight on Islay - the same urge to measure the unmeasurable runs through the brand's whole "only those who seek shall find" philosophy.

Stauning Port Smoke Cask Strength 2015/2019 Danish Single Malt Whisky 61.9%

Item no.: 22227865400-PortSmokeCS

What happens when peat smoke meets port wine at a distillery on the Jutland heath? Stauning Port Smoke Cask Strength 2015/2019 is the answer.
Expert description
Stauning Port Smoke Cask Strength 2015/2019 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky distilled in 2015 and bottled in 2019 at cask strength 61.9%. The malt is peated and the whisky was finished in port wine casks, which add a dark fruitiness that blends with the smoke. The bottling is part of Stauning's Cask Strength series – undiluted and non-chill filtered.
Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 in Skjern and works with Danish grain, floor malting and copper pot distillation. Port Smoke is one of the more experimental releases, showing what happens when the distillery's smoky signature meets the sweetness and depth of port wine. The result has two clearly identifiable layers.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoke and dark fruits open together – prunes, blackcurrant and a slightly spiced, almost winey undercurrent.
Palate
Full-bodied smoke with clear port wine sweetness. Dried fruit, chocolate and a light resinous note. The 61.9% cask strength adds real heat.
Finish
Long and complex with smoke, dark berries and a hint of bitter cocoa.

Talisker 10 years old Single Isle of Skye Malt Whisky 70 cl 45.8%

Item no.: 22227865404-3

Not many whiskies can taste of the sea without ever having sat in it. Talisker 10 Year Old has made that its trademark for decades, and it is still the bottle most people picture the moment someone says "Talisker".
Expert Description
Talisker 10 Year Old is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in oak casks and bottled at 45.8%. It is the distillery's flagship and one of the original six Classic Malts, a series UDV (now Diageo) put together in 1988 to showcase Scotland's different regional styles.
The colour is a shining gold, and the whisky carries a depth and intensity that has made it a standing reference for what an island whisky from Skye should taste like. Since 2021 the bottle comes in packaging where both the glass and the box are 99.8% recyclable.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers smoke, sea salt and citrus, with a sweetness that keeps the saltiness in check. There's also a hint of black pepper hinting at the bite to come.
Palate
The palate is powerful and warming, with smoke, sea salt and citrus up front, backed by a pleasant sweetness. The pepper appears along the way, giving the whisky its signature bite.
Finish
The finish is intense and fairly long, with a distinct touch of pepper that lingers well after the last sip.

Talisker 10 years old Version Single Isle of Skye Malt Scotch Whisky 45,8%

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.

Talisker Dark Storm Single Malt Whisky Skye 100 cl 45.8%

Item no.: 22227865555

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.

Talisker Port Ruighe Single Isle of Skye Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 45.8%

Item no.: 505956-498796-173

Scotland traded wine and port with Portugal long before anyone thought of whisky as an export good. Talisker Port Ruighe brings that history back and lets it leave its mark on the distillery's usually salty, raw style.
Expert Description
Talisker Port Ruighe is a no-age-statement Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in American and European oak casks and finished in port casks, bottled at 45.8%. The name Port Ruighe refers to the small bay near the distillery and to the historic trade between Scotland and Portugal.
The port casks soften Talisker's usually sharp, peppery style and add a layer of dark fruit and chocolate, without losing the maritime core. That makes Port Ruighe the sweetest and most approachable release in the distillery's core range.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is softer and sweeter than the classic Talisker style, with sea air, light saltiness and restrained smoke sitting alongside dried red fruit, raisins, stewed cherries and a deep chocolate note from the port casks.
Palate
The palate opens with salted caramel and port-driven berries, while salt and pepper keep it recognisably Talisker underneath the rich sweetness.
Finish
The finish is warm and sweetly dry, with lingering peppery spice, light smoke and a cask-driven bitterness of cocoa and toasted wood.

Talisker Special Release 2020 8 years old Single Malt Whisky Skye 70 cl 57,9%

Item no.: 22227865304-199906

Talisker had never used rum casks before 2020. Then came Special Release 2020, and suddenly the distillery's salty, peppery backbone found itself sharing space with demerara sugar and tropical fruit from the Caribbean - a combination never seen before or since.
Expert Description
Talisker Special Release 2020 8 Year Old is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, finished in ex-rum casks from the Caribbean and bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.9%. It belongs to the "Rare by Nature" collection, Diageo's 2020 Special Releases, and marked the first time the distillery used rum casks for a finish.
The young age lets Talisker's raw, maritime character stand right at the front, while the rum casks add a sweeter, more tropical layer on top. The colour is gold with a faint greenish tinge, and at just 8 years old this whisky shows the distillery's power without the polish that older releases can carry.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers sweet, maritime salt, molasses and dried seaweed, with notes of demerara sugar and tropical fruit from the rum casks. Underneath sits a smoky base with a trace of charred meat and white pepper.
Palate
The palate is soft and full with an explosion of salted caramel, quickly followed by Talisker's trademark pepper. Banana, coconut and sugar cane from the rum casks bring a sweetness that balances the drying, spicy finish.
Finish
The finish is long and evolves with mint, burnt caramel and a lightly bitter cocoa note, while the pepper lingers.

Talisker Special Release 2022 Whisky 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55.1%

Item no.: 035689-9321

Skye rarely goes gentle in November, and Talisker built its 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 for exactly that kind of weather - cask strength, younger and rawer than its older siblings, but carrying every bit of the smoke and salt the island is known for.
Expert Description
Talisker 11 Year Old Special Release 2022 is an Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured across a mix of American and European oak casks and bottled at a natural cask strength of 55.1%. It belongs to Diageo's annual Special Releases programme, in which distilleries such as Talisker, Lagavulin and Mortlach each contribute an expression that steps outside the core range.
The oak brings a double layer of sweetness and tannin, while the younger age keeps Talisker's trademark pepper and smoke sharp and direct. This is the distillery showing its rawer side rather than its polished one, built for an evening that calls for a bit more intensity in the glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose opens with salty sea air and peat smoke, quickly followed by citrus oil and a touch of mint. Underneath sit vanilla, green apple and toasted oak, and the high strength lifts the aromas without turning sharp.
Palate
The palate is rich and lively, with seaweed, sea spray and fresh lemon sitting alongside ripe fruit and vanilla. Talisker's pepper arrives quickly and builds into a chilli kick, while the casks add sweetness and a light oak bitterness underneath it all.
Finish
The finish is long and warm, with smoke, pepper and a salty minerality that lingers well after the last sip.
