Douglas Laing's Big Peat has swapped his fishing rod for a saddle in this limited edition bottling of the much adored Islay blended malt whisky, released to mark Chinese New Year 2026, Year of the Horse. The blend comprises whiskies from Caol Ila, Bowmore, Ardbeg and Port Ellen for a bold, robust character, brimming with coastal, tarry smoke.
Warm slabs of tangy peat. Hints of chocolate, coffee and cedar with spices, walnuts and almond. A touch of cinnamon with oily smoke.
Simple, easy going, but delicious. Notes of heavy smoke, cut grass, peanut, spices and peat.
Quite abrupt with cut grass, coastal notes and smoke.
