Westland Peated Malt
Westland's peated malt is a skillful blend that incorporates a portion of intensely peated whisky with unpeated spirits, all aged in American oak barrels. This harmonious marriage achieves a superb equilibrium between smoky and fruity notes, accompanied by hints of earthiness, green herbs, and roasted nuts, creating a well-rounded and complex flavor profile. Tasting Note by Westland:Nose: Smouldering moss, flamed orange peel, and a background of nuttiness are the first notes in the nose.Palate: Peat erupts from the palate, expressing flavours of roasted pistachios, iodine, and campfire. The smouldering moss on the nose gradually transforms into burning embers and roasted plantains. As time passes, the palate also changes, moving towards more pronounced earth notes, green herbs, and increasing iodine towards the finish.
