Fortunately there is still plenty left, so I do not
anticipate a change to tradition methods of distilling
whisky just yet.

Well James you should be able to get some from your local
garden center or DIY store. Look out for 3 things:
1. Its only moss peat with nothing added.
2. Its NOT sedge peat which isn't always suitable for CP.
3. That the supplier has some concerns for the environment -
some make a pledge of not extracting peat from particularly
sensitive areas.
Most moss peat in the UK is of Irish origin, I doubt you
will encounter the Canadian material in the UK.
As you are in Northern England you probably won't have to
travel too far to see native CP - Peak District, Lake land,
North York Moors etc etc.
Hope this helps
Loyd
