29.294 A bed of moss and smoke (Creators Collection)

Description

From the Whisky Team

Thick heather honey and black treacle ooze over smoked ham, resting on a bed of moss and fine oak ash. Waves of seaside aromas bring seashells and iodine, while toffee apples and burnt limes bob in the surf. A cloud of beechwood bonfire smoke engulfs lavender bushes and violets, settling into the earthy embrace of a forest floor.

Tasting Panel notes

Thick heather honey and black treacle oozed over smoked ham served on a bed of moss and fine oak ash. Then came layers of black coffee and liquorice, accompanied by burnt hot cross buns sprinkled with salt. Adding water released waves of seaside aromas, as seashells and iodine were snagged in old fishing nets. Toffee apples and burnt limes bobbed about in the waves before a cloud of beechwood bonfire smoke engulfed lavender bushes and violets. After spending 22 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a first fill STR barrique for the remainder of its maturation.

Peat Plants II: Elemental whiskies from Scotland’s Western Isles

Peat Plants II is a bold return to Scotland’s Western Isles, where wind, sea, and fire shape whiskies of raw intensity. Drawing from Islay, Mull, and beyond, this collection dives deep into the medicinal heart of peat – denser, darker, and rich with salt air and smoke. These are elemental drams that howl with coastal character and blaze with untamed spirit.
