Peat is a layered soil made up of decaying plants and animals found in bogland areas. Peat burns similar to coal. It dries the malt, allowing the smoke and vapors to permeate the grain. The longer the malt is exposed to a peat fire, the smokier the scotch whiskey will taste. Though not merely as popular in japanese or kentucky styles, some inspired distillers now use peated malt in their recipes, blending traditions of blurring the lines between international whiskeys.
