- Description
- Cotswolds Distillery's peated expression uses floor-malted Odyssey barley and ex-peated quarter casks to create a distinctly English take on smoke, where the smaller cask format allows delicate integration rather than aggressive peat character. The spirit develops a distant, fragrant smokiness—more like embers from a fireplace than direct contact with the phenolic compounds—balanced against the distillery's natural floral notes. The quarter cask maturation creates a whisky that's both approachable and layered, without the heavy smoke associated with traditional peated Scotch. Ideal for those curious about English whisky's approach to peat, or anyone seeking gentle smoke.
