“Peaty but both light and smooth, complex but gorgeous whisky...”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
The smokiest whisky from the anCnoc Peaty range - Peatheart! The Knockdhu distillery has used barley malted to 40 PPM (for perspective, Highland Park whiskies sit at around 20 PPM, while Ardbeg whiskies weigh in at about 50-55 PPM) and it was aged in ex-bourbon barrels before bottling at 46% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Shortbread, oakcakes, pipe tobacco leading towards earthy peat smoke. Lighter notes of citrus peels and vanilla ice cream.
Palate
Chocolate malt, a touch of BBQ meat, cinder toffee and cardamom seed.
Finish
Surprisingly refreshing on the finish - smoke still persists, but notes of green apple and orange blossom develop alongside it.
