Peaty whiskys
Peated whisky what does it mean?
Smoking is the unmistakable aroma and taste that distinguishes a peated whisky from the sweeter and more vanilla-flavoured non-peated whisky.
Why is peat added to whisky?
The dense and pungent fumes of the peat penetrate the barley grains and make the whisky smoky, giving it the characteristic and unmistakable aroma that remains in the distillate for decades, in the mouth it is an explosion of flavours that completes the taste of the malt and is refined by the use of oak barrels.
