A richly peated malted barley is used as the cereal varietal to produce Authenticus, a unique and intriguing Peated Expression. This rare peated single malt from The Heart of Speyside has wonderful overtones of rich peat-reek, in harmony with honey, chocolate, raisins, oak-wood and fascinating spices.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Elegant aromas of ripe pineapple, fresh mountain herbs and a profusion of sweet peat. A huge pungent blast of peat smoke emerges, partnering the peated element perfectly. Full bodied and audacious.

Taste: A fantastic fusion of rich peat and smouldering embers bound together by fresh herbs – oregano, aniseed and chicory in particular. A rush of sweet, wild honey provides a lovely contrast to this lively, intense expression.

Finish: Terrific weight and development which leaves a powerful long lasting impression on the palate.
