Another peaty, smoky whisky, not too disimilar to Talisker but very different from its near-neighbour in the Orkneys, Scapa. Highland Park's distillery bottlings tend to be quite rounded with hints of vanilla showing through from the usual salty, iodine island character. Another personal favourite.

Another relative newcomer, Isle of Jura Distillery's 90-proof Superstition ($40), is winning admirers for its ability to combine the smoky, peat flavor associated with malt from the Islay islands in the Hebrides region of Scotland with the more floral qualities of malts from the Highlands. "Even an established whisky drinker may have tried a big, smoky whisky like Laphroaig, Lagavulin, or Ardbeg and shut that door very quickly," said Isle of Jura's master distiller, Willie Tait.

For what do you need peat in the whisky production? The old Scots used peat for heating the pot stills. However that didn’t lead to the smoky taste of the whisky. Only during the drying process of the damp malt over a peat heated fire, the smoke gets into the barley. The difference in the smokiness of the whisky depends on the time the barley is exposed to the biting peat smoke.
