peaty
Smoky, like Scotch
Peaty describes something having the character of peat—the dark, partially decomposed organic matter found in bogs and wetlands.
The word most often describes soil rich in peat or the distinctive smoky, earthy flavor in Scotch whisky from malts dried over peat fires: a peaty single malt from Islay, peaty soil that holds moisture well.
