About this bottle

Released in July 2014, this is one of two single cask releases issued to celebrate their first annual Peat Week celebration. This bottling was aged for 2 years in a 1st fill ex-Pedro Ximenez hogshead cask from 100% heavily peated malt. Only 282 bottles were produced so your best bet in owning a bottle is to visit the distillery itself.

My first peated whiskey in a very long time. More subtle on that end than I expected.

The 4.10 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
