Blackadder Peat Reek 10 Year Old Raw Cask – 58.6% (2022)
Blackadder Peat Reek 10 Year Old BA – Raw Cask – 58.6%
The Peat Reek 10-Year Old is one of the most recognizable and consistent releases in the Blackadder universe. This blended malt was matured for 10 years and given an Oloroso sherry finish , which adds depth without obscuring the whisky's core qualities: smoke, power, and structure .
The nose opens with dry peat smoke , charcoal, and campfire, followed by dark sherry notes: raisins, nuts, cocoa, and a hint of leather. The 58.6% alcohol content is clearly present, yet beautifully carried.
On the palate, it's full-bodied and intense . Smoky Islay influences are perfectly supported by the sherry finish, which provides warmth, spice, and a light sweetness. Think pepper, toasted wood, dark chocolate, and a salty-smoky core. The finish is long, warming, and lingers with a combination of smoke and sherry bitterness.
As always with Blackadder, this whisky is unfiltered and uncoloured , with visible cask residue as evidence of its Raw Cask character. No frills, no compromises.
