Peated whiskies are overrated. It's like drinking a campfire, and not in a good way. Fight me.

Islay whiskies are the only single malts worth seeking out. Bourbons don’t need to be peated at barrel proof levels because they have a good bite on their own but peat helps add some zip to scotch.

I would love to! You need to come for a Bourbon tour though - a good 100+ proof will put some hair on your chest and make you feel truly alive 🤩

I think you mean smoky not peaty

I wasn’t challenging that although the process js peating resulted in peated product, the taste is PEATY. Anyway the guy is referring to a smokiness not a peatiness that was the issue. Peat doesn’t taste of smoke. Smoke tastes of smoke.

Not sure I understand you. OP referred to ‘Peated Whiskies’ in their original post and that is correct. The product is called Peated Whisky. Nobody (at least not in the 20 or so Scotch distilleries I’ve been to and countless bars around the world) refers to them as ‘smoky whiskies’. Sure, the taste is ‘smoky’ but peaty is also used often to describe the taste of peated whisky.

How would you separate the peaty taste from a smoky taste? They are usually used synonymously. One doesn’t put raw peat into the whisky, it is the peat smoke that gives the flavour. But peat smoke is different to other types of smoke so using ‘peaty’ can actually be more precise than ‘smoky’ (eg if one used incense to dry the malted barley) but people still use both to mean the same thing.

You do you mate 🙏
