A frankly monstrous whisky from blenders and bottlers Fox Fitzgerald, this is Peats Beast at a whopping 54.1% ABV. Peats Beast is a single malt from a mystery Islay distillery, adding further intrigue to this delicious and smoky whisky. The complexity in this dram has been kicked up a notch, not just by its strength, but by its finishing period in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest style of sherry, and here it marries perfectly with the robust smoky flavours of this whisky.This whisky is non-chill-filtered, so the drinker gets to enjoy all the texture and flavour of the spirit at its best.

The nose brings huge smoky aromas, with a dense grassy and earthy peat, accompanied by a Sherried fruit, and some thick malty notes.

The palate is hot and thick, with a buttery caramel flavour accompanied by peat smoke and succulent stone fruit: plums and cherries.

The finish is smoky and medium in length with a little toasted wood spice.
