WHISKY THE ART OF MATURATION

THE VATTING

PEATSIDE AGED 6 YEARS – Distilled 2010

The serendipity of blending gives rise to wonderful creations. Our Peatside is a vatting of single malts from unexpected origins, matured in American oak followed by freshly emptied Port and PX casks. This combination showcases the flavours shining from the barrels collected from around Europe.

THE ART OF MATURATION

• This is a ‘tea-spooned malt’, 99.9% of one single malt blended with just a tiny drop of another. The origins of the spirit will, of course, remain our secret!
• The initial maturation in a bourbon barrel gave a light sweetness to soften the peaty spirit.
• The Whisky Creations Team then split the ‘Peatside’ spirit into two different casks, one that had held port wine and the other, Pedro Ximénez Sherry.
• After nearly two years in the finishing casks, this unusual spirit has developed the perfect balance between smoke and oak.
