53.495 Peat Bloom (Peat Plants Collection)

Description

The Peat Plants Collection is the first quartet in The Creators Collection. This quartet of peated bottlings has been created to take you on a sensory journey through the peatlands. Each of the four bottlings represents a different aspect of the natural world that contributes to the unique character of these spirits.

Peat bloom draws on the concept of a bloom, symbolizing the full expression of flavours that emerge from this peated malt. This whisky is a celebration of the complex layers of smoke, maritime influence, and delicate sweetness that unfold like a flower blooming in the peat-rich soil of Islay.

On the sea breeze came wafts of smoked trout and coal tar from a trawler carrying hessian sacks of sweet-scented barley grains. Puffs from its polished brass funnel dropped fine ash on to smoky apple sauce sprinkled with a few coriander seeds. Fruity notes developed after a dash of water. Now, sour apples and pineapples rolled across the sandy beach as the hot sun baked the stone walls of the harbour. Gentle floral characters then embraced lavender and elderflower, before sage, thyme and gooseberries were served on lemon tarts with orange chocolate and toffee-coated nettles.
