Description

From the Whisky Team

A whisper from the sea, this dram blooms with tobacco and lavender smoke, mingling with heather honey. It carries the essence of coastal freshness and earthiness, wrapped in the rich aroma of cognac and beeswax-polished wood. A journey through mist – silky, luscious and timeless.

Tasting Panel notes

The neat nose bloomed with tobacco, lavender smoke and heather honey. We also noted leather armchair vibes, very old cognac, beeswax furniture polish and hessian cloth. Water revealed briny and fresh coastal tones, fried seaweed, teriyaki salmon and charred mango. Reduction also brought a silkiness to the texture, along with more direct and luscious fruitiness on the palate in the form of oranges, more mangoes and pineapple, then heathery smokiness, tobacco and more hessian vibes. This was matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead for 17 years before being transferred to a first fill ex-bodega PX barrique.

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.
