Scotland
A big bodied blended malt from Islay. It comprises malt whisky from Caol Ila, Bowmore, Ardbeg and Port Ellen. Big Peat is a great whisky with lots of peaty character.
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.
Rough is the word I’d use. Lots of alcohol burn rather than pepper or chilli flavour. Immature. Poor.
Really impressed with the bottle I bought. Opened it last night and blown away by the depth of flavour and peat smoke. Islay intensity
I had fancied trying this for some time. I do enjoy a peaty whisky and have a particular fondness for Longrow. I was mighty impressed with another of Douglas Laing's blends earlier in the year and so tried this. Absolutely brilliant stuff! I have now ordered this year's Big Peat at Christmas.
Amazingly strong and flavourful. Very peat-forward (obviously), but surprisingly sweet at first, then turns into a savoury, salty, smoky whisky. My #1 whisky
Always consistently strong and a quality offering to Islay fans
