Glasgow 1770 - Peated
The Glasgow Distillery Co. isn't content with just making one style of whisky - oh heavens no! Behold, 1770 Peated! As you can probably figure out from the name, this is a peated expression, made specifically with heather-rich peat from the highlands. After distillation, the whisky was matured in new American white oak casks and allowed a finishing period of around a year in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks (whereas the unpeated 1770 Whisky is aged in bourbon casks before being finished in virgin oak).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Zesty orange and a hint of quince, juxtaposed by wafts of floral smoke.
Palate
Toasty oak and burnt sugar, with dried fruit richness building.
Finish
Slightly nutty on the finish, though earthy peat continues on and on.
