Description
Blackadder Peat Reek Embers Heavily Peated Oloroso Finish
This Special Reserve -Single Malt Scotch Whisky is rare, with only 126 bottles worldwide. Peat Reek Embers has an Olorosa cask finish. It was drawn at cask strength from a single cask and was bottled in Scotland in March 2022. There is no chill filtration and no colour added.
Peat Reek Embers are specially-selected casks from our already well-known Peat Reek portfolio. These are casks that we feel stand out from amongst a selection which we are already very proud of.
This in no way means we think they are better than the Peat Reek range. All have the heavily-peated quality that is a hallmark of Peat Reek, but some of the Embers range have been given cask finishes selected to help further complement the whisky.
As with the burning embers of a fire, the finish lingers long after the last sip.
Peat Reek is the smell of burning peat, the flavours of which are imparted to malting barley as it is slowly dried while the smoky reek of the peat is drawn over it. For Blackadder Peat Reek, we select only casks of whisky produced using malted barley that has been heavily impregnated with the phenols and creosols of a gently-smouldering peat fire.
