Peg Whisky has just released their first ever Small Batch Exclusive. Peg Whisky Small Batch Exclusive Series 1 is bottled at 46% and non-chill filtered, there is only 3000 bottles released in Series 1. This whisky is an easy-drinking blended Scotch. I tried this one initially in a Glencarin whiskey glass and then a Tuath Glass the former seemed to focus the dark woody notes and bitter spices. The latter opened up the flavours and and helped me discover more of the depth and layuers of sweet vanilla, chocolate, honey and floral malt.
