Peated Whisky
Peated whisky is made using malted barley that has been dried over a peat fire, allowing smoke from the burning peat to influence the grain before distillation. This can create distinctive aromas and flavours ranging from earthy smoke and ash to maritime, medicinal, vegetal and sweet smoky notes, depending on the type of peat used and how heavily the malt is peated.
