Scotch reminds me of a certain crazy, red-headed, Sgt in the Marine Corps Reserve , that was built like a peat outhouse, and drank Scotch in milk.
Maybe they mean "no peat in the process" i.e. artificially added. The water up there certainly runs through peat bogs, that's where they all are on Arran.
The island malts tend to be more peaty (that oily flavour): the highland ones less so.
