Lightly Peated Malt

Lightly Peated Malt brings a gentle wisp of smoke to your whisky, offering just enough phenolic character to enhance complexity without dominating the spirit.  

At 5-15ppm, this malt is ideal for distillers seeking subtle peat notes – think soft bonfire smoke, earthy undertones and a whisper of medicinal phenols. The result is a refined balance where the malt’s sweetness and grain character can still shine through.  

Perfect for Highlands-style whiskies, blends requiring a smoky dimension or for introducing a soft peat note to otherwise unpeated spirits. Made at our dedicated peating plant using finished white malt, the process ensures consistent phenol uptake and exceptional handling properties. A great option for distillers exploring nuance rather than intensity.
