Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft smoke and rich citrus lead the nose, with orange zest and peel joined by thick-cut smoked bacon. The maritime character rolls in, with damp seashells and rock pools accompanied by glowing coals and beach bonfires.
Palate: Smoke dominates to start – smouldering hickory and complex Lapsang Souchong tea notes are backed up by coal smoke and cast iron stoves. Sweeter notes of salted caramel and bittersweet darker chocolate slowly build.
Finish: Medium length, with sea spray and baked apples fading to heavy smoke and spice.
Comment: More mellow than PEAT Full Proof, PEAT 45 balances coastal character, smoke and zesty spirit.
