Peats Beast Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 34 Year Old · 1985 Vintage
In stock
A sensational Islay Single Malt bottled under the Peats Beast label. It walks the line between power and finesse and after 34 long years this is not surprising. This magnificent single Islay malt demands and should receive full concentration, respect and reverence as it reveals so many rich treasures of delight – salted caramel, sticky toffee pudding, lime marmalade and frangipane.
Broad shouldered and wellbuilt you must give this aged icon plenty of time on the palate to fully tease out those extra layers of fig cake, liquorice stick, manuka honey and ginger spice. There is just a faint whisper of grapefruit acidity and saline persistency to round off this nugget of liquid gold.
A release of only 1800 bottles Worldwide, of which only 150 bottles available for the UK.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany.
Nose
Divinely decadent, the nose unfurls in a coffret of enticing aromas: salted caramel and sticky toffee mingle with lime marmalade and frangipane, while whispers of fig cake and ginger spice drift in the background. A subtle grapefruit lift and saline notes add scintillating freshness to the aroma.
Palate
Reverberating seductive nuances of Scottish Heather honey spread over hot buttered toast, Turkish Delight, Doyenne du Comice pear skins and Swiss White chocolate. There is also an exciting vibrancy of caramel fudge, Cape gooseberries, Ogen melon and Vanilla panna cotta slowly unfolding in the background.
Finish
A delicate kiss of peat smoke mingles with the vanilla warmth of American white oak, ebbing softly to a dry, lingering finish.
