Top 10 SMOKY Whiskies

Looking for the best smoky Scotch? In this video I count down my Top 10 Smoky Whiskies.

My ultimate list of peated drams for lovers of rich, smoky flavours. From Islay icons to underrated gems, I explore a range of bottles that go beyond the usual Ardbeg 10, Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10 and Ledaig 10.

Expect big hitters alongside unique pick, indie bottlings, and limited releases that deliver huge smoke and value.

I also asked my Patreon “Bottle Slappers” for their favourite smoky whiskies, so you’ll hear community recommendations ranging from Caol Ila to Ledaig 18 and beyond. Whether you’re after heavily peated powerhouses, sherry-smoked drams, or balanced coastal smoke, this list has something for every peat lover.

Covering price points, availability, and why these whiskies made the cut – plus a few honourable mentions that just missed out. If you enjoy peated Scotch, this video is packed with recommendations to expand your smoky whisky shelf.
