Peated Scotch & Pulled Pork Sandwiches Peated scotch and bourbon may have very little in common, other than both being styles of whisky. However, both serve to enhance certain ingredients in barbecue sauces—but in completely different ways. Peat, which can be used to dry malted grains during the whisky-making process, will impart a smoky note to whisky that can range from subtle to intense. In addition, where the peat is sourced from will impact the overall flavour profile of the whisky. Off the southwest
coast of Scotland, Islay (pronounced EYE‑luh ) is home to numerous distilleries renowned for their peated single malts. As one of the iconic Islay distilleries, Laphroaig (pronounced luh-FROYG ) is known for its heavily peated house- style that is perfused with medicinal and salty notes. In particular, Laphroaig 10-Year, possesses a subtle underlying sweetness contrasted by intense iodine- and brine-infused smoke. Paired with the rich and sweet profile of a pulled pork sandwich, this combination may be bold for some palates, but will certainly be memorable for all.
