1770 Glasgow Peated – 46%

With the 1770 Peated, the Glasgow Distillery delivers a very untypically smoky whisky for the Lowlands. They use peated malt with 50 parts per million phenol for their smoky whisky. Excitingly, the whisky was first matured in Virgin Oak casks before being finished in PX Sherry casks. Unfortunately, there is no further information about the respective maturation periods. Nevertheless, the whisky is very balanced despite its tendency to be very young. The nose combines fresh wood, some smoke and a slight spiciness with BBQ in the taste. On the whole, one can also detect notes of orange peel and liquorice. One can be curious about further bottlings.
