Heavily Peated, Independently Bottled
Fox Fitzgerald built Mr. Peat for smoke lovers: a 45-PPM peated single malt, raised in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or coloring. Note the region debate — the bottler's own sheet calls it a heavily peated Lowlands malt while some retailers guess Islay — so what matters is the peat, not the postcode.

Tasting Notes
Big peat smoke up front — bonfire, ash, sea-spray — over a bourbon-cask core of vanilla, honey and toasted oak. Natural color, oily texture at 46%, long smoky finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat with a few drops of water to open the smoke, or in a peated penicillin. Peat fans will want it on the rocks after dinner.
