What critics and judges wrote
Falstaff · November 2021
Fine wood smoke immediately enters the nose, then malty hints come through finely. Quite full-bodied on the palate with tobacco wood notes backed by fruity highlights. Good length.

The aroma is dominated by yellow pears, light cereal scented and delicate wood. Slender body with good drinking flow and cereal-scented notes on the finish. Round finish.
Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2021
That decision delivers a superb subtle smokiness, which when put together with bourbon and sauternes casks creates a moreish whiskey alive with orchard fruit, panna cotta, and sweet floral notes, plus tangy marmalade and peppery spice.

This commendable Irish peated malt has a nose of apple, clove, bonfire smoke, pepper, thick butterscotch sauce, panna cotta, and sweet floral notes. … Sauternes influence cultivates an exemplary combination of sweetness and spice …
IWSC judges · Silver · 2026
Bright orchard fruits gently emerge with an elegant interplay of sweet peat and green smoke. The palate balances smoky green olives with a savoury sweetness, finishing with refined complexity.

The aroma opens with a light herbal smokiness and crisp orchard fruit, underpinned by creamy vanilla. On the palate, peaty smoke intertwines with spiced apple; harmonious and beautifully lingering to finish.
Delicate peat smoke on the nose, tropical notes on the palate and sharp spice buzz to finish.
Elegantly light on the nose with a delicately sweet, peat-smoked, long and warming palate.
Lively tropical fruit complemented by notes of vanilla fudge, cocoa, biscuit, cereal, and coastal peat.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · April 2021
Mild peat and tropical fruit intertwine on nose and palate, giving an impression of pineapple playing hide-and-seek through the smoke. Torched rosemary, smoked sage, lemon verbena and white pepper wind into the finish.

Distiller · Jake Emen
Blackpitts lives up to its name on the nose, with peat and phenolics in the asphalt and rubber range. … The palate offers creamy vanilla, heather and honey, all woven in with campfire smoke, ash, soil and leather.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Category Winner · 2021
Toasted oak with a hint of marshmallow on the nose. The palate offers apple tart and ripe plum, and the finish is rounded, while notes of citrus linger. Sweet barbeque peatiness. Ribs with plenty of sauce. Long peaty aftertaste.

Peardrop boiled sweets on nose, very young and sugary … A wisp of acrid mossy peat smoke and there is a lovely drying evaporating note as the palate develops …
Coastal and briny, the nose is reminiscent of old crab shells and lightly smoked fish. The palate opens up with candy floss, fruit cake, salted caramel and banana chip notes, … It all crescendos into a bold, fiery finish.
Sweet cereal, caramel honey, and candied fruit notes are complemented by a black peppery smoke. The profile is predominantly green and vegetal with sulphur touches … Green jelly babies mingle with ashy, burnt charcoal smoke, add an acrid, medicinal edge.
