peated
Smoke-infused whisky style
Peated describes whisky made with malt that has been dried over a peat fire, imparting a distinctive smoky, earthy flavor.
The intensity varies by region and distillery: a heavily peated Islay scotch, lightly peated Highland malts.
The term appears almost exclusively in whisky contexts.
