AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 3

A heavily peated single malt, at 34ppm, Batch 3 of the superb anCnoc Peatheart certainly lives up to its name. The heart of the Scottish peatlands is found in the north-west, where Knockdhu distillery finds its remote home. This is the valuable fuel for this expression, which holds peat at the centre of its taste profile. Presented at 46% abv, free from chill filtration and at natural colour. 

Aromas of sweet barbeque and earthy peat mingle with honey and sweet spice, which combine to create a fragrant, grassy character on the nose. The palate brings the smoke, peaty and layered upon green apple, citrus and vanilla bean sweetness. Hints of oily smoke arise, lingering on into the lengthy finish and joined by a sweet spice.
