Peatreekers Double Standard

A blend of Islay single malts created to celebrate the 'peatreekers': the men and woman who created whisky using illegal stills in 18th century Scotland. Driven to underground distilling due to the introduction of the 1725 Malt Tax, these whisky-makers waged an endless battle with the excisemen and earned the name peatreekers due to the smell of peat that clung permanently to their clothes. 

When the excisemen caught a peatreeker, they would often accept a few bottles of whisky as payment for turning a blind eye – a practice which gives this whisky its name: Double Standard.
