Peat's Beast Cask Strength Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish

A peaty yet Sherry sweet monster.

From the chaps at Fox Fitzgerald Trading Co, comes the beastly peated creation of Eamonn Jones. The phenol monster tops out at levels of 35 ppm of peat. This single malt was crafted in an inferno of fire and brimstone. This monster emerged in 2011, and the origins of its birth are unknown.

"Peat’s Beast is a tribute to the myth of a peat-hunting beast, that stalked the night roaming the peat bogs of Scotland hunting down and devouring the purest dirtiest peat that he could find"… or so the legend claims. Apparently, the legend of this peat boogie monster has aroused fear and fascination in Scottish villages for centuries.

Nobody knows which Islay distillery produced Peat's Beast Cask Strength Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish. It doesn’t really matter, either. A tad more complex than their Cask Strength Single Malt, this peaty beast was finished in Pedro Ximinez Sherry casks. The sweet Sherry marries the robust smoky flavors and results in a unique and harmonious concoction. Clocking in at a bold 54.1% ABV and non-chill filtered, the smoky and earthy nose leads to the thick and buttery palate that releases peat smoke and succulent stone fruit like plums and cherries at the same time.
