Mash whiskey

50% medium peat & 50% golden promise is what I tried, let's see how it goes.

For anyone else wanting to try something similar a few of us in WA have tried Hilly's gear he made when he put this post up, both Ryno & CHEROKEE who love expensive whisky have said it was real good.... I just mixed it with coke :))

What happened with your first one wedwards, did the peat malt drop out over a longer person of time to make it more drinkable ?

Nah the peat was still there even after a couple months. It might have gone down a little, but not noticeable enough for my tastes, and with my mates it didn't last that long. Maybe if I left it for 12 months or something it might have gone down more, but I can't be stuffed and want something that's reasonably drinkable straight away with a little oaking so that's why the recipe change. It was still a good drop, I guess I'm just expecting better :)

I'm just using pale malt as that's what I have available from my beer making, but would be interested to see if golden promise provides much of a difference in the flavour profile.

Just about to start playing with this type of recipe ,,,, from the guys that have tasted it, would it be better to go 3:1 like hilly or 50:50 like mac ?

Ok since no one wants to comment. Ill change the question who has a opinion on the grain bill

I went 50/50 but it's not quite a scotch, much closer to an Irish mate ;-)

Thanks for that. I want to make something somewhere in between with a floral yeast so i will bump the peat a bit and will post the results
