Peat Project: Red Wine Cask Whisky

Peat Project: Red Wine Cask Whisky

Single Cask Series

Distillery Smoked with Washington Peat

Portuguese Red Wine STR Barrique

PPM: 54

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 Red Wine cask, blanketed with fresh maritime island air.

The nose presents medium peat smoke with wood ash, leather, tobacco, and candied orange. Floral and fruit notes include heather, lemongrass, coconut, pears, dates, dried figs, raisins, blackcurrants, and sweet pea flowers.

The palate is creamy, very smooth and pleasantly warming, with sweet red wine, demerara, blackcurrant, prunes, dates, sultanas and honeydew melon.

Waves of peat smoke, heather brushfire, and wood ash lead to coconut milk, cinnamon, black cardamom, fresh ground black pepper, liquorice, and dark chocolate.

It finishes with toffee fudge, perfume, floral nectar, a dry malt sweetness, 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.

This was an amazing dram with the quality of much older and higher priced sherry cask products. Well done.
