Description
The peatier of the two first releases from the anCnoc Peaty Collection by Knockdhu distillery, the Flaughter is named after a spade used to take off the top layer of peat, which is usually richer and has more roots. This imparts a smokier quality to the whisky, a notion Knockdhu are trying to convey through the peatier Flaughter.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Oilier and a little fatter than the Rutter, with linseed, peanut skins, coffee and soot. Blackcurrant and then caramel emerge along with a touch of salinity.
Palate
Big and mouth coating with peat, barley, white peach and toffee, then fennel and a hint of mint.
Finish
Long. Nice and sooty to start with, nutty too, before medicinal iodine and more smoke emerge.
Overall
This flaughter is round and robust. Something that could also be said of this whisky, peated to level of 14.8 PPM (parts per million).
