Big Peat is the ultimate expression of Islay in a bottle, masterfully blending Single Malt Scotch Whiskies exclusively from the island. This unique marriage features the sweet notes of Caol Ila, the perfect balance from Bowmore, the medicinal and earthy character of Ardbeg, and a touch of elegance from Port Ellen. Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, Big Peat offers a true distillation of Scotland’s renowned Malt Whisky Regions.
Douglas Laing’s Big Peat is a feisty Islay character with a sweet side. This is a small batch bottling, without colouring or chill-filtration, and only contains Islay Malt Whiskies.
