Lindores RUM-PEAT Single Cask - UK Market Exclusive (Cask #190385, 70 cl, 59.1% ABV)
Every so often, a whisky comes along that stops you in your tracks. The Lindores RUM-PEAT Single Cask - UK Market Exclusive is one of those rare drams. Distilled on 25 April 2019 and bottled in 2025, this UK-exclusive release brings together the elegance of Lowland spirit with the fiery character of Islay peat and the sweetness of an ex-rum cask. With just 231 bottles drawn from Cask #190385, it’s as limited as it is distinctive.
On the nose, waves of gentle peat drift in with a salty sea breeze, carrying subtle maritime undertones that immediately spark intrigue. The palate is bold yet balanced: think sticky toffee apple and muscovado sugar layered with floral brightness, warm cinnamon spice, and a deep earthy smoke. The rum cask influence softens the edges, adding tropical sweetness to the peated backbone. Finally, the finish lingers with mellow toffee, whispering smoke, and a smooth, confident elegance.
Non-chill filtered, naturally coloured, and bottled at a powerful 59.1% ABV, this is whisky with no compromises. A dram for those who want flavour with backbone and rarity with story.
