Big Peat at Christmas

Douglas Laing have decked out Big Peat in festive livery once again in time from Christmas 2018! The Big Peat at Christmas bottling have become a tradition for the independent bottler, and enjoying the cask strength variation of the Islay-whisky-based blended malt has become a tradition amongst whisky fans worldwide. This year, the label features Big Peat dressed as a Santa, trying to shimmy his way down a chimney to bestow gifts - though he's got a bit stuck... Just like Winnie-the-Pooh...

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Dense smoke and coastal air, punctuated by hints of pineapple.

Palate Ash and earthy oak, with layers of cooking spice and boiled sweeties.

Finish Lingering hints of soot and white pepper.

Wonderful
Wow! Bought this as I couldn’t get 2019 Xmas Big Peat and it did not disappoint. Can’t imagine the 2019 bottling could get any better!

A big festive smoke dragon with plenty of flavour
Wonderfully butch but smooth peated whisky with peat, smoke, pipe tobacco and leather. It's a well-rounded whisky and a great alternative to Douglas Laing's normal Big Peat (46% ABV). A special Christmas treat which, if you can buy enough, is great to drink all-year.

A great smoke dragon but with plenty of nose and palate beyond the smoke
