You say tomato I say….what the heck! Tongue in Peat is one of only a few smoked tomato juices that are made, it however can boldly claim to be the only one that is peat smoked, with peat from the Scottish Island of Islay which they found imparted notes of tangy smoked sea salt!
Tongue in Peat is proudly made in Scotland by less than 12 people, making 5,000 bottles per batch, the tomatoes are hand chopped to ensure maximum surface is exposed to the peat fires! It definitely sounds like a lot of love goes into the whole process.

Well, on to the smoked tomato juice itself, I love the label on the bottle, this is what drew me in, it certainly peaked my curiosity and being a lover of tomato juice I was keen to give this a go and the lovely people at Tongue In Peat kindly sent me a bottle to sample.

What can I say, from the moment you open the bottle you are hit by the smokey earthy aroma - now on to the taste. For my Bloody Mary I poured a shot of vodka into a tall glass, topped up with the tomato juice, few glugs of Worcestershire sauce, a good few shakes of Tabasco sauce, few grinds of cracked black pepper and some ice, I then garnished with the obligatory stick of celery to which I also added some jalapeño stuffed olives and a slice of crispy bacon, hoping to give an additional hit of saltiness, which it did!

I have to say both the aroma and the taste gave you a double whammy of earthy smokiness which I loved. This is definitely a different take on tomato juice and yes it won’t be to everyone’s liking but it was to mine so all good. A truly artisan product and one I am so glad to have stumbled across, give it a go, I dare you! If you do, let me know what you think and also how you had yours.
