Introduction: Peat's Beast is a single malt whiskey brand owned by British independent bottler Fox Fitzgerald. As we can tell from the name, this brand of whiskey has a heavy peat flavor. Fox Fitzgerald, established in 2010, is not an independent bottler with a long history, but its founders Eamonn Jones and Aidan Smith are both veteran whiskey industry insiders with 30 years of experience. Both of them have worked for Whyte & Mackay, Eamonn Jones He once served as a regional sales manager, responsible for the sales of brands such as Dalmore and Jura. A relatively high-quality IB like Peat's Beast provides whiskey lovers with more choices and is a very good supplement to OB. As for which company the original wine comes from, Peat's Beast's official website says it may or may not come from Islay. It is possible to purchase peat original wine from the highlands or even speyside.
Peat's Beast Batch Strength PX Sherry Wood Finish is aged in PX sherry casks for 9 months and is bottled in a limited edition single cask. Pedro Ximénez Sherry, abbreviated as "PX", is as dark as soy sauce. It is brewed from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes through oxidative aging. It is a very sweet sweet Sherry. Therefore, the wine has a mature reddish-brown color, with a hint of smoke in the floral aroma. It is rich in raisin, ripe apple and peach fruit aromas, as well as strong caramel, black dates and woody tones, which skillfully balances the rich flavor. The sweet aroma makes the overall aroma highly layered and varied. The taste is sweet, thick and thick, with a rich and long finish.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Toffee sweetness with a hint of spice, smoothly balanced by delicate phenolic aromas and fruity notes. It has the salty taste of seaweed and sea water without masking the sweet aroma of vanilla and honey, as well as a hint of hay and peat.
Taste: The smoky flavor first felt in the mouth quickly turns into a soft floral aroma, and then turns to an obvious oak flavor, ending with a long-lasting sweetness. The warm peat flavor fills the mouth, but does not make the smooth and sweet chocolate lose its style. The rich toffee aroma plays a clever balancing effect here, and gradually leads the style to slender heather and smoky peat.
Finish: Finish with hints of oak, vanilla, and raisins. Long and with a rich, oily roundness
Suggested food pairings: Roast Pork, Blue Cheese, 75% Dark Chocolate
<< The unique peat flavor of Scotch whiskey >>
To whiskey connoisseurs, peated whiskey is more than just the smell of pills and disinfectant. In the strong peat flavor, there is actually a difference between superior and inferior! Do you know how heavy the peat is in the whiskey you drink? Peat is the coal with the lowest degree of coalification. Coal is in its most primitive state. Its main source is the remains of plants such as heather, mosses, and ferns, which are decomposed by bacterial decay. Scotland is rich in peat, so peat is not only used as fuel in daily life, but is also widely used in the process of making Scotch whiskey as fuel for roasting malted barley. Using peat-dried barley to make whiskey creates a unique smoky flavour.
Above 30ppm is a high peat content, such as Ardbeg, Lagavulin, and Lagavulin, the Big Three of Islay peat, which are typical heavily peated whiskeys with a very strong peat flavor.
