There are currently plenty of peat bogs in Scotland but if the owners of whisky distilleries keep cutting peat on an industrial scale to produce heavily peated single malt whisky they will soon disappear.
Since 2005 Edradour distillery near Pitlochry has been producing a heavily peated single malt scotch whisky which has an even higher peated PPM than Laphroaig whisky despite Edradour distillery being in an area of Scotland with little peaty soil. https://www.edradour.com/taste2/
I know who the culprit was that persuaded the management of Edradour Distillery to start producing a very heavily peated single malt whisky.
