Pure Scot Midnight Peat is a blended Scotch whisky from Bladnoch, Scotland's southernmost active distillery, finished in casks that previously held smoky whisky and bottled at 44.5% ABV in a 700ml bottle.
Pure Scot is for the radicals, the mavericks and the individuals, and Midnight Peat is their drink for when the sun goes down: beside the last embers of a bonfire, in the smoky haze of an underground bar, or in a moment of spontaneity. Bladnoch, a Lowland distillery on the River Bladnoch founded in 1817, has been thoroughly modernized and producing whisky again since 2017. Midnight Peat's post-maturation in peated-whisky casks adds smoke while the sherry-cask influence remains recognizable.
Campfire peat and sea spray lead on the nose and palate, with vanilla, malt and dried fruit sitting beneath the smoke and a gentle spice.
The bold label makes it a great gift for smoky whisky fans.
