Drams to Try - Peg Whisky Small Batch Exclusive
This is a limited release of 3000 bottles of Peg’s Small Batch Blended Scotch. The whiskey is sourced from a mystery Speyside distillery.
We were lucky enough to get our hands on a sample of this exclusive release and tried it in a number of different glasses.
This is an impressive debut offering for newcomers Peg Whisky. The Small Batch Exclusive’s stablemates include an entry level blend and a very interesting punchy cask strength coming in north of 60% abv. You can learn more here
Nose
This is certainly a pleasant sniff, full of sweet notes. Candied cherries, mandarin, grape are to the fore.
Palate
The mouth feel is perhaps just on the oily side. It has a pleasing balance of sweet elements and malt. Caramel, butterscotch, malt, currants all in play.
Finish
Extends nicely with continued sweet flavours finishing with more elemental tones of malted barley and oak
