Tasting Notes

This modern, mild style of sweet peated malt whisky is not a kick-in-the-head peated malt. This truly unique whisky creates a sweet, silky, creamy drinking experience, with a beautifully long finish. Add a touch of water to this whisky to really bring out the richness of the sweet malts and floral peat. All matured in ex-fortified French oak barrels.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Chief's Son 900 Sweet Peat is produced from Scottish barley malted to 900 PPM phenol — an extraordinarily high peating level relative to commercial benchmarks — providing an intense smoke and medicinal character in the new-make spirit. The wash is sourced in collaboration with Mornington Peninsula Brewery before distillation at the Chief's Son Distillery in Somers. The spirit is matured in ex-Seppeltsfield fortified wine casks — sourced from South Australia's historic Seppeltsfield winery — which impart notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and toffee that counter and complement the intense peat smoke, producing the 'sweet peat' character. Bottled at 45% ABV from a single cask.

Provenance

Chief's Son Distillery was established in 2013 by Stuart and Naomi McIntosh in Somers on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria — the only single malt whisky distillery on the Peninsula and one of the largest family-owned and operated craft distilleries in Australia. Located approximately 80 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, the distillery draws on the Peninsula's cool maritime climate for maturation. The '900 Sweet Peat' expression takes its name from the extraordinary 900 PPM phenol peating level of the Scottish barley used — an intense peat specification that sits well above standard heavily peated whisky, combined with sweet fortified wine cask maturation.

About this Spirits

Victoria

The wine region of Victoria has the highest number of grape vines than any other state in Australia. It is home to over 600 wineries and well known regions such as Yarra valley, Heathcote, and Rutherglen. Victoria is situated in the southeastern corner of Australia where due to the location, the climate has a cool maritime influence and is known for their outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with producing Australia’s most famed dessert Muscat and Topaque wines.

There are a number of different terroir levels throughout the wine region of Victoria which leads to the production of different ranges of wines. In the southern region of Victoria, the vines are regulated by the cool winds of the Bass Strait. Central Victoria consists of mostly flat terrain that tends to be drier and warmer than the rest of Victoria, which results in more fruit concentrated wines. It may be surprising to note that Victoria is the third most productive wine region in Australia, seeing as it does not have as many areas suitable for viticulture, which has resulted in the cellar door culture of Victoria being concentrated with smaller, but more personal boutique wineries.
