PEATED WHISKY
From whispers of campfire to full-on bonfire drams, this collection is a peat fiend's dream!
Pick of the peated whiskies
Curiously, all three headliners begin with the letter L, like the word love. And we do love peat. Each boasts a powerful, smoky profile, but once you've met them, you won't get them confused.
Lagavulin 16 Year Old
Whisky
Tasting notes
Lagavulin 16 Year Old is truly a benchmark Islay whisky. It’s loved for its deep, earthy, maritime character, with rich notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and smokiness that come from Islay peat but are more akin to Lapsang Souchong tea in profile.
If you're looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavoured salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat-rich, sweet and salty character of this whisky wonderfully.

Ledaig 18 Year Old
Whisky
Tasting notes
A cracking single malt that proves Islay isn't the only place to get your hands on splendidly peaty whisky. The folks at Tobermory on the Isle of Mull certainly know their way around peated malt. This 18-year-old single malt offers up hearty phenols, smoky herbs, cracked black pepper, and balancing waves of sherry-soaked fruit.

Laphroaig 15 Year Old
Whisky
Tasting notes
Matured in American oak bourbon barrels, this expression softens some of Laphroaig’s sharper medicinal edges while letting sweeter, fruitier notes creep through the smoke. Think less hospital corridor, more beach barbecue after popping some peaches on the grill.
