Watt Whisky Peatsmoke on Gorgie – 5 Year Old – 57.1%

This Peatsmoke on Gorgie is a unique Blended Scotch Whisky from independent bottler Watt Whisky. The composition consists of 42% peated Blended Malt and 58% North British Grain Whisky. The whisky was bottled in 2023 at a robust 57.1% ABV, with a limited release of 618 bottles.

On the nose, mineral peat smoke takes center stage, with chalky notes, fresh apple, and gooseberry, followed by hay, dried leaves, caramel, and malty aromas. After some time in the glass, it becomes noticeably softer.

The taste is earthy and smoky, with peat smoke, fennel, earth, and a distinct salty touch. Citrus and vanilla provide freshness and sweetness, after which firmer smoke, peppery spices, and savory accents emerge.

The finish is quite long and balanced, with peat smoke, malt, and a light fruitiness lingering. A distinct blend in which the smoky malt and softer grain whisky together form a powerful yet balanced whole.

The whisky was bottled without coloring and without chill-filtration.
