Etymology

The term 'peat' comes from the Old English word 'pรฆฬ„t,' which denotes the partially decomposed organic matter found in swampy areas. Historically, peat has been used as a fuel source and in the process of whisky production, particularly in Scotland. The significance of peat in whisky distillation began to take shape in the 15th century when distillers discovered that drying malted barley over peat fires imparted a unique flavor to the spirit. As Scotch whisky gained popularity, the levels of smokiness โ€“ and thus the 'peatiness' โ€“ became a defining characteristic that various regions would embrace. The superlative form 'peatiest,' indicating the most pronounced peaty flavor, arose from this context and has become a popular descriptor among whisky connoisseurs.
