Elements of Islay Peat Cask Strength

Elements of Islay Peat Cask Strength

This item is archived.

A cask strength Islay Blended Malt Whisky that is said to be a marriage of 60 casks from the north and south of the island. Bottled at 59.3%, this is possibly the best-priced cask strength whisky in Alberta, even when considering the bottle size. 

“PEAT is the perfect expression of smoky whisky, with all the full-on coastal character you would expect from an island whisky, as well as balanced sweetness. On its own or in a cocktail, it is the go-to peaty whisky for all, balancing serious smoky flavour with a sense of fun.”

Producer Description: “We have used whisky from a handful of distilleries across the island to create an Islay blended malt, taking the distinct character of each and bringing them together, focusing on Islay’s most famous flavour – peat.” 

Producer Tasting Note

Nose:  Fresh, sprightly barley entwined with peat smoke and bonfire embers. Bracing aromas of salty seaweed and seashells. Plenty of clean fruit – lemon, lime and grapefruit, while hiding underneath are notes of rich earth and liquorice.

Palate: Warm and leathery with thick-cut bacon, seashore campfires and roasted fruit: sweet apple and lime with a sprinkle of caster sugar. Layers of smoke and dark-chocolate limes envelope the palate and are intertwined with softer lemon oil and barbecue sauce, with hints of roasted spices and barrel char, complementing the peat and smoke.

Finish: Sea spray and baked apple fade leaving heavier smoke, truffle salt and sweet spice.”
