Distillery Smoked with Washington Peat

Portuguese Red Wine STR Barrique

PPM: 54

Peat smoke contributes the truest ‘terroir’ in whisky appreciation. This expression allows you to explore how Washington peat differs from our Canadian and Scottish peats. It was distilled using our local British Columbia barley peat-smoked at the distillery with Washington State peat, from just across the Canadian-U.S. border. It was then matured in, and bottled directly from, a single carefully selected Portuguese red wine barrique.

The nose presents medium peat smoke with wood ash, leather, tobacco, and candied orange. Floral and fruit notes include heather, lemongrass, coconut, pears, dates, dried figs, raisins, blackcurrants, and sweet pea flowers. Mead and treacle lead to cinnamon and fresh coffee grinds.

The palate is creamy, very smooth and pleasantly warming, with sweet red wine, demerara, blackcurrant, prunes, dates, sultanas and honeydew melon. Waves of peat smoke, heather brushfire, and wood ash lead to coconut milk, cinnamon, black cardamom, fresh ground black pepper, liquorice, and dark chocolate.

It finishes with toffee fudge, perfume, floral nectar, a dry malt sweetness, with a hint of salt and lingering smoke.
