Peated Scotch

Peated Scotch refers to a type of Scotch whisky that has been made with malted barley that has been dried using peat smoke. Peat is a type of soil made up of decayed organic material, often found in bogs or wetlands. When burned, peat produces smoke, which infuses the barley with a distinctive, smoky flavor. This peaty character is one of the most recognizable traits of certain Scotch whiskies, particularly those from specific regions of Scotland.
