Clydeside Fortnight: A Distinctive Peated Single Malt

Clydeside Fortnight is a compelling 6-year-old Scottish single malt whisky at 46% ABV, produced by Clydeside Distillery on the banks of the Clyde. This whisky is produced for just two weeks each year, when the distillery switches to peated malt. This limited production window makes it a distinctive release for both seasoned peatheads and those exploring the style.

Matured in refill ex-bourbon casks, this peated single malt strikes a beautiful balance between smoke and complexity. At 46% ABV with no added colour or chill filtration, you experience the whisky in its full, uncompromised form. The nose reveals sticky honey, sweet peat, and baked lemon aromas. The palate brings forward citrus and tropical fruits—pineapple and kiwi—with peat smoke elegantly dancing in the background.

The finish is soft and warming, with toffee and peppery notes followed by a welcoming smokiness. This is a whisky that works beautifully for existing peat enthusiasts and those seeking to develop their appreciation for the style.
