Here is a peaty treat from the Knockdhu Distillery. The anCnoc Peatheart Batch 1 clocks in at a peat level of 40 ppm phenols. Please note that this is measured in the malt.

Please note that this is measured in the malt. Nothing unusual about that, it’s just that Knockdhu have previously made a habit
(and a very positive one at that) of measuring the peat level in the final liquid. I do hope they will continue doing that.
Nose: There is a fire! There must be, there certainly is a lot of smoke! Wood smoke, earthy and rich. Chocolate, malt and soot. A light fruitiness as well, citrus I think. Add to this a pinch of vanilla and cool marzipan and you have yourself a nice dram.
Taste: Medium body and raw-ish mouthfeel (in a good way). Lots of peat on the palate here; maybe more ashes and soot than wood smoke, but it is all here. Chocolate in the back. Earthy. A bit lacking in sweetness and fruits.
Finish: Medium long finish. More oily in character now. Notes of citrus, vanilla and white sugar manage to claw through the thick layer of smoke.
