What does PEATY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to, resembling, or containing peat, and especially describing a smoky, earthy flavor in whisky produced using peat-dried malt.
Ground that has stayed waterlogged for centuries can turn peaty, building up thick layers of partly decayed plant matter that people once cut and dried as fuel. In whisky making, distillers dry malted barley over a peaty fire, and the smoke soaks into the grain, giving certain Scotch whiskies their distinctive smoky, medicinal character. Tasters describe a dram as more or less peaty depending on how heavily the malt was smoked, and the word has become a standard part of whisky-tasting vocabulary.
