Bank Note 5 Year Peated Reserve is a variation of the Bank Note blended Scotch whisky, distinguished by its inclusion of peated malt whiskies. Peated whiskies are known for their smoky and earthy flavors, which are imparted during the malting process when the barley is dried over peat fires.
This expression typically combines aged malt and grain whiskies, with a portion of the malt whiskies being peated to add a smoky dimension to the blend. The aging process of at least five years allows the flavors to integrate, resulting in a balanced whisky with a hint of peat smoke.
