Curious, it states that it is made with peated malt:

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases ... 85094.html

"Michael Collins 10 Year Old Single Malt is double distilled in small, long-necked copper pot stills, from both malted barley and peated malted barley and matured in small bourbon seasoned casks for a minimum of ten years."

Typographical error or truth?

I think it does have peated malt in it. Cooley malt. Not a huge amount, unless they've changed the recipe.

I like the look of them anyway - pity it's overdone with the caramel
