PEAT CHIMNEY

introduces nuanced, smoky yet balanced flavours, gently easing you into the peaty whisky style. 

This whisky is a guiding hand into the atmospheric world of smoky flavours whilst also being an exercise in harmony, subtlety and balance.

​Bottled at a potent 46% alcohol by volume and non chill-filtered to bring out the aromatic smoke and carefully crafted flavours.

Try neat, on the rocks, in a ginger ale highball or in an old fashioned cocktail.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR

Honey gold

NOSE

Reminiscent of standing on the seashore with wet shells, tangled hemp rope and driftwood. Fragrant heather smoke drifts over baked peach and apricot with hints of orange peel.

PALATE

Warm peat smoke puffs over a shot of espresso laced with muscovado sugar. A flinty freshness gives way to crisp apple and pear crumble with toasted oatmeal.

FINISH

A sweet smoke slowly sizzles to a softer finale.

AWARDS

PAIRINGS

Cheese

Maida Vale; made in Berkshire by the Wigmore family. Maida Vale is washed in Treason IPA from Uprising Brewery. Buttery in texture, it has a fruity kick from the hops and a tangy edge.

Meat

Any smoked seafood, or meaty fish is a match made in heaven for Peat Chimney. Smoked Duck or Venison also pair well.

Dessert

Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content works well as does, surprisingly, lemon cheesecake.

Beer

Brewdog Punk IPA. This is a bit of a chalk and cheese pairing as the crisp citrus notes from the hops in Punk IPA will cut through the rich smoke of the Peat Chimney almost like eating a grape after having some strong blue cheese. Also both the Peat Chimney and Punk IPA have some lemon notes which will complement each other.

Chocolate

Belgian dark chocolate blended with Islay peat smoked oats and almonds. Made in collaboration with Edinburgh’s Chocolate & Pastry Bar.

BASE MALTS

Approx. 58% vatting of various Speyside single malts.

SUPPORT MALTS

Approx. 4% support peated Highland Malt & approx. 4% support peated Highland Island Malt.

SIGNATURE MALTS

34% signature heavily peated Islay Malt.
