There's More to Peat than PPM - Whisky Tasting 9th January 2027 7.30pm
Event Details:
When it comes to peated whisky, we often hear about PPM (Parts Per Million) as a measure of just how smoky a dram might be. But does a higher PPM really mean a smokier whisky? And why can two whiskies with similar peat levels taste completely different?
Join us at Inverurie Whisky Shop as we delve into the fascinating world of peat and discover why there's so much more to smoky whisky than just a number.
We'll explore how the origins of peat, the malting process, distillation and cask maturation all influence the character of a whisky. From gentle bonfire smoke and earthy Highland peat to medicinal, maritime and intensely smoky drams, we'll uncover the incredible variety of flavours that peat can bring to your glass.
Along the way, we'll challenge a few common misconceptions, compare different styles and discover why the biggest PPM doesn't always deliver the biggest punch!
Whether you're a devoted peat lover, a curious whisky enthusiast or someone who usually steers clear of smoky drams, this promises to be an entertaining and eye-opening evening.
