Scotch Whisky without Smoke
Here you will find our range of smokeless whiskies. The perception of smoke flavours in whisky is subjective. Therefore, we cannot give you a 100% guarantee that you will not find subtle smoky flavours in any of the selected whiskies. There are various reasons why a whisky tastes smoky. In this selection, we have limited ourselves to the most common definition of smoky and non-smoky whisky. The most important distinction lies in the use of peat and peat smoke in the production of whisky. If the malt for a single malt is dried and smoked over a peat fire, the resulting whisky will also be smoky. Consequently, we have focussed here on whiskies and whiskeys in which no peat was used. If you still detect smoky flavours, these probably come from the character of the distillery or the oak cask in which the whisky is matured. This is because even strong oak flavours are interpreted as smoke by some connoisseurs. Especially when it comes to scotch whisky, you will find many whiskies that are border crossers. In many blended Scotch whiskies, for example, smoky and non-smoky whiskies are mixed together. The smoke is then only subtly noticeable. If you want to be sure that there is no smoke in your whisky, go for bourbon or whisky from Ireland (with the exception of Connemara Peated). Smoky malt is almost never used here. Have fun!
