New Master Distiller Blog: The Science of Peat
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of Tankyu Distillery.
We are pleased to share the fourth issue of our Master Distiller Blog, “The Science of Peat”, now live in all four languages.
In this issue, our master distiller David Hsieh unpacks peat — what it actually is (mud and coal at once), where in the world it forms, and why it ends up in whisky. He traces peatiness back to its real source — the phenolic compounds released when peat is burned, not the peat itself, the water, or the cask — and closes on the question now being debated in Scotland: not whether there is enough peat, but what cutting it does to the bog. Adapted from the Business Whisky Guide podcast.
