**Classy, smokey with earthy peat** Whisky, South Island Peat, Single Malt, Tomson, New Zealand, 70cl, 46%

Tasted by The Posh Off Licence September 2025.

Another smoky winner—yet compared to Thomson’s Manuka, this dram is smoother, subtler, and more refined. The peat here feels elegant: earthy, rounded, and assured rather than brash. Its smoke drifts with balance, allowing gentle fruit and spice to shine through. Classy, confident, and quietly complex, this is peat done with finesse.

Thomson South Island Peat Single Malt Whisky is a unique expression crafted at the Thomson Distillery. This bright, fresh whisky features vibrant smoky and sweet notes of bonfire, green apple, thyme, with vanilla, and crème brulée on the palate.
