The Story

The Peat Plants Collection is the first quartet in The Creators Collection. This quartet of peated bottlings has been created to take you on a sensory journey through the peatlands. Each of the four bottlings represents a different aspect of the natural world that contributes to the unique character of these spirits. 

Reflecting the dense, moss-covered terrain of Islay, Cask No. 29.293: Moss and mist embodies the whisky’s iconic, medicinal peatiness. The name evokes the damp, misty bogs that give rise to the rich, iodine-infused character of this powerhouse malt. 

Tasting Note

Salted butter slowly melted over ripe mango, pineapple and lemon in an old coal scuttle. The oily tears mingled with fine ash before being poured over cured ham and mackerel fillets shrouded in a veil of lavender and heather smoke. Tropical fruits merged with clove-studded gammon on the palate, glazed with fragrant runny honey. A few drops of water unveiled smouldering leaf mulch and charred pine logs with sticky sap and creosote on the nose. Then a handful of dried apricots and seaweed, steeped in antiseptic cream, were served with melon, peppermint, and chamomile petals on a bed of salty seaside pebbles.
