Midnight Peat is the latest whisky addition to Australian-owned Pure Scot’s portfolio, designed to “elevate classic and modern whisky-based drinks”.

Pure Scot Midnight Peat featured warm, smoky, sweet flavour notes, and was crafted at the 204-year-old Bladnoch Distillery in the Scottish Lowlands. 

“Pure Scot’s approach is to innovate around drinking occasions in life. By introducing a peated finish, Midnight Peat was developed and designed to add a further aspect to those occasions,” said master distiller Nick Savage.

“The peated finish was carefully monitored to allow for character to be a subtle build on the style of Pure Scot signature yet allow for a completely different dimension.”

Pure Scot Midnight Peat is available to order now through Iconic Beverages, The Beverage Company, as well as for purchase from independent retailers, on premise only and online.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
