Peat just gave you a chance… Don’t blow it!

Son of a Peat is a members exclusive private label inspired by the Flaviar community. We set out to create a high quality Peated Blended Malt Scotch our members would love—and they do. Each batch is unique and in short supply. A collector’s wet dram sourced from the finest distilleries of Scotland whose names shall remain, well... shrouded in mystery.

BATCH 01 is a remarkable marriage of eight of the most famous Scotch Single Malts from Islay, Islands and the Speyside region. The end result is a complex and commanding Whisky bottled at the peak of its powers—its spirit barely contained by the cork. We treated each drop by hand to ensure the Whisky got the care it deserved. 48.3% strong, no added color and non-chill filtered.

This is a gruff, yet utterly charming dram of both mysterious and chaotic nature. Its flavors are dark, heavy and intense, but also strangely warm and welcoming.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).

Tasting Notes
The usual suspects—peat, smoke, and salt—are all there. But the more you taste, the more biscuity and sweet it becomes. Then, there's apricot, sherry, citrus and green apple notes that take things to 11. The finish is oily, succulent and bittersweet. A lip-smacking smoking gun delight!

Member Reviews and Ratings of Son of a Peat Batch 01
John
John,
One of the best that I have tasted thus far (especially for a "Blend"). I would have to have it again along side Laphroiag or Lagavulin to determine my favorite.
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
I guess I've learned I don't care for overly peaty scotches...and that's definitely what I got. Not for me but will try to see if I drink it on a few other occasions if it grows on me.
 
Klemen
Klemen,
10/10, would consume daily and become an alcoholic for this.
 
Cody
Cody,
Absolutely my favorite scotch. I was nervous about getting this but I was pleasantly surprised and wish I would’ve gotten more.
 
Philipp
Philipp,
Fantastic!
 
Jim
Jim,
A very well balanced blend with just the right amount of earthy peat flavor and a strong wisp of smoke. Love it!
 
Gasper
Gasper,
My favorite peated blended Scotch!
 
Axel
Axel,
Not too much of anything, very well balanced, the smokiness is rich. So very much addictive. Wish I had two bought two bottles. Can’t wait to try your upcoming Cognac!
 
Dirk
Dirk,
Splendid, I did taste it and was impressed so I save it up for special events. Well done!
 
Dong
Dong,
Love it! Peaty but very smooth.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
I finished off this bottle a couple of months ago and it made me really sad. Why didn’t I take Flaviar’s advice and buy 3 bottles instead of only one?! Such a wonderful little dram. I wish this was available at my local grocery store. I may never get to drink it again and I’m sad.
 
Fd
Fd,
Nice smoky aroma... peaty Smokey for sure... just a slight charcoaly taste... you know your with the scotchs...smoother than most other labels...
 
Clint
Clint,
Yuck.. all i can say..
 
Kevin
Kevin,
I have had worse, but its hard to remember when. Over rated, over priced over hyped. Islay lover, peat is my beat, but this fell so short...
 
Wenjun
Wenjun,
Strong and peaty flavor, can taste the complexity from the blend, can add tad bit of water to mellow down the strength of not used to it. Personally felt like not for everyone as a to-go pour.
 
guest
guest,
Fabulous peaty cocktail!
 
Jon
Jon,
Thoroughly enjoying this. Very well balanced with just the right amount of smoke to remind me I'm drinking Scotch whisky.
 
david
david,
I have read the comments and I feel my product had something wrong with it tried to resolve with Flaviar without resolution purchased 3 bottles that are not drinkable very dissappointed so it a huge thumbs down from me!
 
Damian
Damian,
Loved it. Hearty and party, with a svelte finish.
 
Jason
Jason,
Amazing depth and flavour
 
William
William,
Love Lagavulin this rates up there with my 16 year old. Lucky me bought two bottles.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
LOTS of smoke and peat for my taste. I don’t have as much experience with strong scotch, but this was good. I think the flavor profile for me was somewhat reverse of what is advertised. I get no smoke or peat up front, but the smokey, peaty aftertaste sticks around for a good five minutes. Glad to have a bottle!
 
Shalomah
Shalomah,
BRAVO! A hearty feel-good genuine series of claps is need for the Son of a Peat. This blew me away and I highly recommend this for all the peaty Scotch drinkers. I'm not sure if this will be available around the clock yearly for purchase, but it's a must have for the home and personal collection. BRAVO!
 
Coleman
Coleman,
This is peat. Welcome. I'm so glad to be able to own and share this amazing bottle. The only problem is I can't drink it more often....
 
john
john,
I was lucky enough to get a bottle of this amazing Scotch. So smooth and just the right amount of smokiness. I have to admit that I really liked this wisky straight and if I could I would partake everyday. Sadly my bottle is empty now with no replacement in sight.
 
Jim
Jim,
Great stuff! Loved it
 
Francis
Francis,
Real good blend. Perfect peat. Smokey and smooth. I'd buy again. Can't wait for Batch 2.
 
David
David,
Great blend. Smokey and smooth. Strong, but not overpowering. Beautiful nose. Doesn't dank-out at the end...finishes mellow leaving you longing for more. I'd buy again.
 
Josh
Josh,
Solid, complex flavor, with a rich smoke touched by a little bit of sweetness (not too much)
 
Louis
Louis,
A nice combination of smokey and smoothness.
 
Michael
Michael,
Quite delicious and smooth. For such a lite colored scotch, it had wonderful amounts of peat. Not at all overpowering or overly pungent.
 
Robert
Robert,
Loved it.
 
Vicky
Vicky,
This Son of a Peat was amazing! Possibly the best whiskey I have ever tasted. Peaty, but smooth and not overwhelming. So good you can drink it with just a bit of plain water, no ice needed. I drink many whiskeys in a bit of sparkling water, but this one is better in plain water - a real testament to it's smoothness and complex flavors! Great nose - smells peaty but not too strong. Great finish, too... lingers on the pallet but not in a bad way. Makes you want to keep sipping! I wish I had gotten two bottles!
 
Chris
Chris,
The nose is very strong and smokey, taste is too smokey for me.
 
Douglas
Douglas,
I think this is a wonderful blend that is smooth but still creates an interesting smoky finish. This is a "Do it again" Scotch!
 
Charles
Charles,
Great first effort! Compares well with Islay single malts. Smokey, sweet, smooth.
 
Andy
Andy,
wonderful mix, not too smoke, nice finish...glad I bought 2 :)
 
Christopher
Christopher,
This was horrible. The favor profile did not match the bottle. This was a very harsh tasting scotch. It was not smooth and did not have any kind of finish. I was extremely disappointed in this bottle.
 
Frederic
Frederic,
Fantastic blend of peated whiskies from different parts of the world. A one of a kind jem.
 
Richard
Richard,
Nope! It was too peaty for my tastes. I could not finish the first sip. For me it was a waste.
 
Ray
Ray,
Not overly peated, clean finish
 
kirk
kirk,
It tasted like creosote. I hate to give a bad rating but it was that bad. I tasted it with a local whisky distiller.
 
James
James,
Wish I could give a zero. Only alcohol I actually had to spit out. It is horrible was The consensus from the group of five that gathered at my home for the tasting. I could not even give it away to anyone there for the tasting. Please do not waste your money. First purchase from Flaviar I absolutely regret.
 
Marla
Marla,
LOVED IT! My husband and I are both peat lovers, and this one held its own against some of the best peaty scotches out there. Make more please!!
 
Chad
Chad,
Not my thing but it was worth a shot.
 
Robert
Robert,
you like Peat than this is for you. Can’t say this is my favorite scotch but I knew it was going to be strong and full of flavor. For me it’s a bit much on the peat and smoke for it to be an everyday drinker, but I will share with friends who are adventurous and brave enough for the flavor challenge. I read the profile that it’s heavy and intense the which I say hell yeah you’re right. It’s really good with an IPA as it balances each other out, but beware this thing is intense.
 
Matic
Matic,
While I'm not a peat lover per se, I actually really, really enjoyed this.
 
Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
super good, wish i could buy more!!
 
michael
michael,
little less peat but a very smooth drink.not a grupping whiskey, a nice sipping drink
 
Nicole
Nicole,
Loved it, just the right amount of peat. And great in a Penicillin:).
 
Ryan
Ryan,
I prefer a touch less peat, but a smooth drinking spirit that treats you well
 
Rolf
Rolf,
A little thin and to much alkohol.
 
Nikola
Nikola,
Way too smooth and sweet for it to be almost 50% ABV...and I mean that in the best possible way as I had to check it twice just to be sure!! I personally like more smoke and peat in my Scotch, but I expected less tbh. Best Peated Whisky I've ever had at this price point for sure..if you're venturing into the world of Peat for the first time, you should definitely start with its Son!
 
Simon
Simon,
A delightful taste that would have been perfect with a bit of more smoke. The aroma id almost too gentle but the taste, overall, is wonderful!
 
Jamie
Jamie,
Ended up being too overwhelming for me.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
I've never tasted a Peat Scotch this good before. Excellent aroma and taste.
 
August
August,
Oh man, such a nice peaty flavor, smooth but still with that nice scotch flavor. More...Please!
 
Andres
Andres,
Just horrible
 
Calvin
Calvin,
Freakin' Yummy...Absolutely, Positively, 100% Freakin' Yummy. I require more!
 
Craig
Craig,
Son of Peat. I've had Big Peat and was kinda hoping for a similar experience. I crack open the bottle and was greeted with a nice smokey aroma, but I knew this was not going to be a Big Peat. I taste it. The smoke is there, but so is the alcohol!! At 48% there is a bite. The alcohol tastes very young and must have been bottled right at 3 years. Now the name, Son of Peat, makes sense. This Whisky is a baby and needs at least another 5 years.
 
Lance
Lance,
For the first batch I am impressed, great nose, lite color and the touch of smoke with a mild peat finish that sends me back for another pour, next batch I will get three more bottles, two for me and one to share!! Well done Flaviar !!!
 
Gary
Gary,
Loved the side by side flavor: sweet and smoke.
 
Tracy
Tracy,
Very bold, with lots of character
 
Joshua
Joshua,
The overall flavour was quite good, once you get past the robust scent of smokiness from the peat (hence the name). It was a bit much for my liking though, as much as I wanted to like it.
 
Bradley
Bradley,
Very smoky leathery taste and aroma
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Big, bold and a peat's peat. For sure not what I would use to introduce someone new to whisky but for SURE what I would use to give a special glass to someone who knows what they like.
 
James
James,
Peat and iodine almost smack you in the face. The first sip disclosed the massive, smoky peat. Each successive sip displayed subtle nuances of sherry and dried fruits with a hint of sweetness. A nice oily mouth feel with a long finish. Not an everyday dram or for everyone, but a wonderful first effort.
 
Mary
Mary,
Peat right up front, and peat at the end, but with a beautiful sweetness in the middle. very enjoyable.
 
Marinos
Marinos,
Really nice and Easy yo Drink Whisky with Balanced Aromas & Smokiness
 
Stephen
Stephen,
Not bad Flaviar! I can taste the peat and smoke followed by the Speyside sweetness. A bit bitter at the end as well. The higher than usual alcohol content is added bonus. All in all I say bravo, and I’m looking forward to the next batch.
 
Anthony
Anthony,
I'm not sure what I expected, but perhaps the mention of Speyside threw me off as I love Tamdhu. As Benjamin mentioned, a gamble that did not pay off for me. I have friends who love a taste of the Old Sod, so perhaps they will enjoy it.
 
William
William,
Love it
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
It was a gamble, a shame it did not work out.
 
Steven
Steven,
WOW! It lives up to its name! Smells of Peat, first taste is all Peat with some saltiness mixed in. Light sweetness at First, but fades into the saltiness and finishes with light spiciness and peat! Very good!
 
Ronald
Ronald,
First time ever drinking peat and it is not for me!!
 
Lou
Lou,
I can definitely appreciate that this is a high quality peated blend, even though it’s not my favorite flavor. First sip is like Clint Eastwood punching you in the mouth, but after you get used to it it’s quite tasty!
 
Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Smokey and peaty flavor. Taste the citrus and apricot flavor which I like. Definitely good for when guest come over.
 
Bryan
Bryan,
Wasn’t impressed on first taste I will try it again but very underwhelmed.
 
Ken
Ken,
Peat on the nose. Of course!! Smooth and great tasting!
 
Trevor
Trevor,
Peaty but sweet, great stuff.
 
Jason
Jason,
Peat and smoke on the nose, very typical Islay. The palate holds a nice surprise, as the peat hits in a big wave up front but a light fruit sweetness follows, before a wave of peat continues in the lingering and smooth finish. Overall a great first effort!
 
David
David,
I was skeptical but you can tell a lot of thought went into this blend. Assertive peat aroma, earthy yet bright. Lightly sweet, with a hint of stone fruit. Very enjoyable for a peat lover.
 
Christine
Christine,
So peaty. So smooth. So good.
 
Casey
Casey,
Levels and levels. I feel I'm being initiated into the world of real flavor.
 
Chris
Chris,
Beautifully punchy peaty taste.
 
Aljaz
Aljaz,
If you feel like smoke and peat could be your poison, this is the dram you should start your peated journey with! The flavor profile is amazing!
 
Andrej
Andrej,
9 is my first impression. Feels really good. All around mouths. Taste lasts couple of minutes. Goody!
 
Tin
Tin,
Wow! This guy knows what he's talking about.
