Macaloney’s first ever peated single malt with Islay peat!
 
From the ‘peated’ single malt range, this island whisky undergoes double distillation using traditional Scottish methods, uses only the finest local malted barley and is uniquely peat-smoked at the distillery – a practice exclusive to a select few. The patient, purposeful distillation yields a complex, layered, and balanced ‘clearach’ (new-make spirit).
 
The Peat Project range allows you to explore how peats from Washington USA, Canada, and now for the first time; Scotland, differ in their unique flavour profiles.
 
This expression was distilled using local barley peat-smoked at our distillery to 54 ppm with Scottish peat traditionally hand-cut on the island of Islay. It was then fully matured in a carefully selected Bourbon cask,blanketed with fresh maritime island air.
 
Nose: Lightly medicinal leading to fruit & floral notes. The most notable early presence includes juniper, pine, treacle and hazelnut. Finishing to dark fruit cake, freshly brewed coffee, delicate pipe smoke and fresh sea breeze.
 
Palate: Velvety with vanilla pods, blackberry jam, and fresh blackcurrents with hints of sweet peat smoke. The Islay peat presents as iodine, seaweed, dried tobacco leaf and leather. Sourdough and malted milk yield to clover honey and then finishes with dried ginger and cellared oak casks.
