Description
The smokiest whisky from the anCnoc Peaty range – Peatheart! The Knockdhu distillery has used barley malted to 40 PPM (for perspective, Highland Park whiskies sit at around 20 PPM, while Ardbeg whiskies weigh in at about 50-55 PPM) and it was aged in ex-bourbon barrels before bottling at 46% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Shortbread, oakcakes, pipe tobacco leading towards earthy peat smoke. Lighter notes of citrus peels and vanilla ice cream.
Palate: Chocolate malt, a touch of BBQ meat, cinder toffee and cardamom seed.
Finish: Surprisingly refreshing on the finish – smoke still persists, but notes of green apple and orange blossom develop alongside it.
What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about anCnoc Peatheart
Quote 1 “A good peated whiskey for people not willing to drink something to strong. It is very smooth and with a strange but enjoyable nice finish”
Quote 2 “I thought the flavours and balance of this whisky were superb. Floral nose, with sweetness and toasted notes on the palate. Finish is medium with lovely malt and spice developing. A great whisky, with excellent balance and subtlety of flavour and for the price, easily five stars.”
Quote 3 “For an islay peat freak this is a nice change.Its delicate and light but smokey peaty and has a springbank citrus edge. Very light in colour ,its different not as heavy as my islay chums but not harsh for me as j.m. would say 87 out of 100 sort of score I would say”
