Peated Whisky
• Lightly peated: 1 – 5 ppm
• Medium peated: 5 – 15 ppm
• Heavily peated : 15 – 50 ppm
• Super heavily peated : > 50 ppm
Peat
• Partial decomposition of organic matter in wetlands
because of lack of O2 over thousand of years
– Sphagnum
– Low growing plants (grass, heather, etc…)
• From 10 to 50 cm below ground
– Upper part: more smoke than heat
– Lower part : more heat than smoke
• Composition
– 92% organic : contains variable amount of cellulose,
hemicellulose, and lignins
– 8% inorganic : almost ash
Why Peat is Use in Scotch Industry?
• Up until the early 1960s: Necessity
– Heat needed to dry the malt in the kiln in each
distillery
– Coal not readily available in remore area
• From the 1960s: To flavor the malt
– Industrial scale maltings
– Limited “artisanal” maltings
• Balvenie, BenRiach, Bowmore, Highland Park,
Kilchoman, Laphroaig, Springbank

Bruichladdich
• Three malt specifications (Bairds Malt from
Inverness)

Goals of Kilning
• Stop the biological activity of the green malt
• Produce a dry storable (stable) product ready
to be used
• Remove undesired flavour
• Add flavour
– Existing precursors
– Peat reek (smoke)
Goals of Kilning
• Add flavour from existing precursors
– Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) from thermal degradation
of S-methylmethionine
– Aldehydes from oxydation of unsaturated lipids
• Hexanal (green, grassy)
• Trans-2-nonenal (cardboard)
• Add flavour with peat reek
– Adds phenols

Alfred Bernard
“From Ardbeg our route homeward lay through the
beautiful village of Lagganmhouillin or Lagavulin, “the
Mill in the Valley”, and no prettier or more romantic
spot could have been chosen for a distillery. The make
is pure Islay malt, and is principally sold in Glasgow,
England and the Colonies. The make is held in high
repute; we tasted some eight years old before starting,
which was exceptionnaly fine.”
The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom 1887

Peat Brings Phenols…
• But not all phenols come from peat
– But all phenols come from burning plants
• Charring of casks (degraded wood carbohydrates –
cellulose, hemicellulose, lignins)
– Smoky not peaty
• Not all phenols are smoky
– Vanillin
– Eugenol (clove aroma/flavor)
What is in the Peat Reek that is
Important Flavourwise?
Phenols
Phenol Medicinal, antiseptic, iodine, carbolic
Guaiacol Flavour of smoke (no aroma) but also medicinal, woody
Syringol Aroma of smoke (no flavour)
o-cresol Musty, phenolic, medicinal
p-cresol Medicinal
m-cresol Medicinal, woody, leathery, phenolic
Xylenol isomers Medicinal, sweet
4-ethylguaiacol Spicy, smoky, bacon, phenolic, clove

Absorption of Peat Reek
• Malt phenols specifications obtain by varying
– Intensity of smoke
• Amount of peat
• Time exposed to peat reek
– Springbank
» Hazelburn (non-peated): 30 hours of hot air
» Springbank : 6 hours of peat reek + 30 hours of hot air
» Longrow: up to 48 hours of peat reek
– Laphroaig: 12-15 hours of peat reek
– Bowmore: 15 hours of peat reek
– Octomore: 120 hours of peat reek in saladin box no hot air
Absorption of Peat Reek
• Malt phenols specifications obtain by varying
– Rate of malt drying
• Uptake smoke flavours in the range of 20-50% moisture
– Maximum 20-30%
• Two methods
– Peat then dry
– Peat and dry

Peat Terroir
• Not all peat is created equal
– Varies in quality and composition depending
• Climate
• Vegetation
– Burnt sphagnum releases more simple phenols
– Burnt wood releases more syringol and guaiacol derivatives
• Bog type (rainfall or ground water)
• Cutting depth
– Laphroaig Cairdeas 2015
• 100% made from malt from own kiln not mixed with PE
• More cresol and 4-ethyl-guiacol in Laphroaig malt

Sanaig, a small rocky inlet North West of the distillery is
the name given to this continuously available release.
Sanaig has a predominantly sherry cask influence owing
to the significant time spent in oloroso sherry
Hogsheads. These aged oloroso casks contribute a
drastically transformed depth of colour and character
compared to the mostly Bourbon cask matured Machir
Bay. “A beautiful marriage of bourbon and sherry
maturation balanced with classic Islay peat smoke and
light citrus sweetness”.
Anthony Wills, Founder
http://kilchomandistillery.com/our-single-malt-whisky
Tasting Notes
• Nose: Soft cooked fruits with caramel and
vanilla
• Palate: Toffee, peat smoke and citrus lingering
sweetness
• Finish: A lovely balance of peat smoke, fruit
and sweetness

Impact of Maturation on Peat Levels
• Phenols decrease during maturation
– Mecanism?
• But synergetic nature of oak derived
compounds (guaiacol, vanillin, etc…) can
enhance the peaty flavors

Tasting Notes
• Nose: Breathe in a wave of rich, dark, exotic fruits,
including sultanas, mangos and raisins, fused with earthy
angelica root and treacle toffee.
• Palate: Give in to temptation and sip the smooth, rounded
taste of dates, chocolate fudge and salted treacle, warmed
by orange-laced Aruba coffee.
• Finish: Finally, savour the powerful, long--lasting finish of
smoked fruitcake, blood orange and sea salt. Devilishly
rewarding and a great addition to any whisky collection,

  • 7. Peated Whisky • Lightly peated: 1 – 5 ppm • Medium peated: 5 – 15 ppm • Heavily peated : 15 – 50 ppm • Super heavily peated : > 50 ppm
  • 8. Peat • Partial decomposition of organic matter in wetlands because of lack of O2 over thousand of years – Sphagnum – Low growing plants (grass, heather, etc…) • From 10 to 50 cm below ground – Upper part: more smoke than heat – Lower part : more heat than smoke • Composition – 92% organic : contains variable amount of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignins – 8% inorganic : almost ash
  • 9. Why Peat is Use in Scotch Industry? • Up until the early 1960s: Necessity – Heat needed to dry the malt in the kiln in each distillery – Coal not readily available in remore area • From the 1960s: To flavor the malt – Industrial scale maltings – Limited “artisanal” maltings • Balvenie, BenRiach, Bowmore, Highland Park, Kilchoman, Laphroaig, Springbank
  • 11. Bruichladdich • Three malt specifications (Bairds Malt from Inverness) – Non peated: Bruichladdich 3-4 ppm – Heavily peated: Port Charlotte 40 ppm – Super heavily peated: Octomore varies ≥ 131 ppm • X.1: Bourbon casks • X.2: Mixed casks (duty-free) • X.3: Islay barley • 7.4: Experimental casks

  • 24. Goals of Kilning • Stop the biological activity of the green malt • Produce a dry storable (stable) product ready to be used • Remove undesired flavour • Add flavour – Existing precursors – Peat reek (smoke)
  • 25. Goals of Kilning • Add flavour from existing precursors – Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) from thermal degradation of S-methylmethionine – Aldehydes from oxydation of unsaturated lipids • Hexanal (green, grassy) • Trans-2-nonenal (cardboard) • Add flavour with peat reek – Adds phenols
  • 27. Lagavulin 8 yo • Released in 2016 • For 200th anniversary • 48% - colored • Re-fill American oak casks • SAQ $100
  • 28. Alfred Bernard “From Ardbeg our route homeward lay through the beautiful village of Lagganmhouillin or Lagavulin, “the Mill in the Valley”, and no prettier or more romantic spot could have been chosen for a distillery. The make is pure Islay malt, and is principally sold in Glasgow, England and the Colonies. The make is held in high repute; we tasted some eight years old before starting, which was exceptionnaly fine.” The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom 1887

  • 61. Sanaig, a small rocky inlet North West of the distillery is the name given to this continuously available release. Sanaig has a predominantly sherry cask influence owing to the significant time spent in oloroso sherry Hogsheads. These aged oloroso casks contribute a drastically transformed depth of colour and character compared to the mostly Bourbon cask matured Machir Bay. “A beautiful marriage of bourbon and sherry maturation balanced with classic Islay peat smoke and light citrus sweetness”. Anthony Wills, Founder http://kilchomandistillery.com/our-single-malt-whisky
  • 62. Tasting Notes • Nose: Soft cooked fruits with caramel and vanilla • Palate: Toffee, peat smoke and citrus lingering sweetness • Finish: A lovely balance of peat smoke, fruit and sweetness http://impexbev.com/kilchoman-distillery/

Tasting Notes • Nose: Breathe in a wave of rich, dark, exotic fruits, including sultanas, mangos and raisins, fused with earthy angelica root and treacle toffee. • Palate: Give in to temptation and sip the smooth, rounded taste of dates, chocolate fudge and salted treacle, warmed by orange-laced Aruba coffee. • Finish: Finally, savour the powerful, long--lasting finish of smoked fruitcake, blood orange and sea salt. Devilishly rewarding and a great addition to any whisky collection, this limited-edition release not only tells a tale, it spells the end. Bowmore tasting notes
