I know Scotch gets it's flavor from them using the peat moss fires to dry the grain. We had a peat bog nearby catch fire. Yes children, California has peat bogs. Smelled like caca for 3 months while it burned. They couldn't get it put out.
Thats what this whole area is. Peat moss. If it starts burning, it goes for years. In the 80’s there were fires everywhere,thick smoke and highway travel was sketchy on some days.
