Big Peat has received yet another festive get-up! This is the 2019 edition Big Peat at Christmas, an annual release of the Islay blended malt from Douglas Laing. Built from malt whiskies produced at a selection of Islay distilleries, including Ard, Bowmore, Caol Ila and even the closed Port Ellen, and bottled at 53.7% ABV, this certainly is something to sip on a chilly winter evening. Perhaps after a cracking Christmas dinner, perhaps...?
Burnt wood and salted caramel, with a whiff of sea air.
Juicy stone fruit and more caramel. Still plenty smoky, with loads of toasty peat wafts.
Ash, drying baking spice and another helping of sea breeze.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with this beauty of a Big Peat Xmas. It’s a great and really well balanced Islay whisky!
Great. Grand. Masterful. Christmas in a bottle.
Delish, delish, delish. Just received this and wow it’s awesome!
Best one yet and I’ve tried most of the Douglas Laing Big Peat Christmas releases. This one is huge and impactful and bloody delicious. Highly recommended.
