The Macallan used Speyside peat in the malting process from inception in 1824 through the late nineteenth century when railways brought more heat efficient fuels like coal. By the 1930’s, peat was still there, although it is only lightly discernible. But the World War years limited the supply of fossil fuels, so the peat was used again for a while; effectively disappearing in the post-war years.
