A simple drinker’s guide to the classic scotch whisky regions, from Speyside to Campbeltown. Islay maltwhisky
If you want to break up the vague idea of being “knowledgeable about scotch whisky” into rudimentary levels, the first level would be in acknowledging just how different all whisky can be., but this is a greater realization than one might believe. In fact, I was a passionate drinker and writer on American bourbon and rye whiskey for years before I truly took an interest in scotch, to my great shame.
In terms of character, Speyside single malts run counter to the simplified, caricatured idea that my younger self once possessed of scotch as a one-dimensionally “smoky” beverage. Indeed, few of these malts show any real peat/smoke presence as all.
As for what “peat” actually tastes like, it is often described as having a pervasively “medicinal” flavor, reminiscent of both iodine and the vegetal notes of seaweed. Combined with the omnipresent salt air, the characteristic peatiness of Islay malts contributes to their impression of being “maritime” scotch, and you’ll see phrases like “tarry rope” to describe them, that a sailor might be expected to identify.
