No distilling required.
No complicated equipment.
Just authentic peat smoke flavor, real oak maturation, and accelerated barrel aging science.
What Is Peated Scotch Whisky?
Peated Scotch whisky originates primarily from Islay, a Scottish island famous for its smoky, maritime-influenced whiskies. During traditional production:
-
Barley is dried over peat fires
-
Smoke infuses the grain with phenolic compounds
-
The result is bold, earthy, smoky character
Classic peated Scotch flavor notes include:
-
Campfire smoke
-
Earthy malt
-
Sea salt
-
Charred oak
-
Dark caramel
-
Medicinal phenols
-
Lingering warmth
The Ultra Peat Scotch Whisky Making Kit™ recreates this bold malt smoke profile while enhancing it through small barrel oak maturation.
Flavor Profile – Intense, Smoky, Complex
Your finished Ultra Peat Scotch Style Whisky delivers:
✔ Intense peat smoke dominance
✔ Bold malt character
✔ Sea salt & briny undertones
✔ Charred oak structure
✔ Dark caramel sweetness
✔ Subtle clove & baking spice
✔ Long, warming finish
The combination of peat-forward essence and charred American white oak creates depth, structure, and color comparable to traditional Scotch maturation.
How the Ultra Peat Whisky Kit Works
This is a barrel infusion and maturation kit — not a distillation kit.
Step 1 – Add Ultra Peat Essence
Pour the included Ultra Peat premium essence packets into your oak aging barrel using the provided funnel.
Essence quantity varies by barrel size:
-
1 Liter Kit = 2 Packets
-
2 Liter Kit = 2 Packets
-
3 Liter Kit = 3 Packets
-
5 Liter Kit = 5 Packets
-
10 Liter Kit = 10 Packets
-
20 Liter Kit = 20 Packets
Step 2 – Add Neutral Spirit
Fill the barrel with vodka or neutral grain spirit (alcohol not included).
Step 3 – Insert Bung & Age
Seal the barrel and allow your spirit to mature for 7–10 days minimum.
Step 4 – Taste & Adjust
Small barrels age spirits 8x to 10x faster than commercial distillery barrels due to higher wood-to-liquid surface area ratio.
Begin tasting after one week for optimal smoke and oak integration.
Step 5 – Pour Directly from the Barrel
Dispense from the wooden spigot and enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in classic Scotch cocktails.
No alcohol is included in this kit.
Why Small Barrel Aging Works
Traditional Scotch ages for years in large oak casks. Smaller barrels accelerate:
-
Oxidation
-
Wood extraction
-
Vanillin release
-
Caramelization
-
Color development
-
Tannin integration
The result is fast-tracked complexity and structure in weeks instead of years.
Real American White Oak Barrel
Your barrel is:
-
Made from new American white oak staves
-
Air dried 18–24 months
-
Charred internally
-
Handmade & reusable
-
Includes cradle stand, bung & spigot
Charring:
-
Removes raw wood flavors
-
Releases vanillin and spice compounds
-
Adds caramelized sugars
-
Enables proper spirit aging
Uncharred barrels do not age spirits effectively.
