Simpson's peated malt is a special kilned malt that is smoked with peat moss during the kilning process. This smoking gives it a very distinct smoky and spicy flavor that is highly phenolic. Although Simpson's peated malt is traditionally used in distillation to produce some of Scotland's finest whiskeys, it has found favor among brewers who use very small amounts to create a smoky flavor and aroma in their beers. Be careful with this one! Just a small amount can give your beer a strong smoked flavor and aroma with a phenolic spiciness.
