Peat Project: Moscatel Cask Whisky

Peat Project: Moscatel Cask Whisky

Single Cask Series

Distillery Smoked with Washington Peat

Portuguese Moscatel Barrique

PPM: 54

Winner of 2025 Canadian Whisky Of The Year

The Peat Project Single Cask Series won the 2026 Canadian Whisky Award of Excellence in Product Innovation

Distilled using local British Columbia barley, peat-smoked at our distillery to 54 ppm with local peat from the Olympic Peninsula, it was then fully matured in a carefully selected Portuguese Moscatel cask, blanketed with fresh maritime island air.

The nose presents medium peat smoke with oakwood bonfire, cigar, dried hay, vanilla bean and white moscatel wine. Then juniper and coastal pine forest yield to white chocolate, hazelnut, marzipan, and walnut, finishing with seashore breeze and peat smoke.

The palate is velvety, with big peat, sweet burnt heather, malt extract, hemp rope, and seashore. Tropical fruits are resplendent with pineapple, sultanas, pears, figs, stewed apples leading to heather honey, chocolate orange and Key lime banana pie, followed by cloves, white pepper, liquorice, marzipan, hazelnut, walnut and rum, and raisin toffee.

The finish is dry with a hint of salt and lingering smoke.

No colour added. Non-chill filtered.

Distilled, matured and bottled in Victoria, British Columbia.

100% Canadian owned & operated.

My wife and I took the tour with our guide, Alex, and had a great time. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. The Pilsner was easily my favorite from the tasting. If you’re on the fence about it—just go for it. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent - strong initial taste but very smooth. Better as you continue with it. One of my favorites.

I just had this one delivered to me today. I ordered it because I had asked for a whisky that had some smoke. This does fit the bill. I usually have a whisky from Islay…but I’m really happy that I have found a CANADIAN whisky that meets my tastes. Thank you for making this, I’m enjoying a dram as I write this. I’ll be a repeat customer.

Overall great nose and decent flavour throughout, but the intense peat, though balanced initially, becomes somewhat acrid on the finish, unlike the benchmark, heavily peated Ardbeg Uigeadail.

Loved it. we had 26 NWC Members attend; 13 thought it was GREAT and 13 were so - so. It was the PEAT. I and 12 others loved the PEAT and 13 were okay with the PEAT but, it wasn't their first choice. I'd definitley would buy it again.

Peat Project is one of the finest Whisky if you like the peaty taste you can compare it with Laphroag or Talliisker.

I placed an order for 3 cask strength peated Whiskeys and had a small issue with the order upon delivery. When I reached out I got a timely response and the issue was made right. On top of the excellent customer service the whiskey is also fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough, especially with the recent pricing restructure... I'll be a repeat customer for sure, keep up the great work!
