Peat Reek is the smell of burning peat, the flavours of which are imparted to malting barley as it is slowly dried while the smoky reek of the peat is drawn over it. For Blackadder Peat Reek, they select only casks of whisky produced using malted barley that has been heavily impregnated with the phenols and creosols of a gently-smouldering peat fire.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Straw, fresh leather and tarmac with candied fruits while in the background sultanas. A sweet fruity, sherry leather combination
Palate: Sweet and malty. The sultanas are very prominent combined with the leather and a long lingering of freshly laid tarmac
Finish: The sweetness lingers, slightly spicy with moderate tannins. The leather is noticeable on this nice rounded finish
