Big Peat

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Warm slabs of tangy peat. Hints of chocolate, coffee and cedar with spices, walnuts and almond. A touch of cinnamon with oily smoke.

Palate Simple, easy going, but delicious. Notes of heavy smoke, cut grass, peanut, spices and peat.

Finish Quite abrupt with cut grass, coastal notes and smoke.

Reviews for Big Peat
Poor Quality
Rough is the word I’d use. Lots of alcohol burn rather than pepper or chilli flavour. Immature. Poor.

Great great great
Really impressed with the bottle I bought. Opened it last night and blown away by the depth of flavour and peat smoke. Islay intensity

Peat Bomb
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.

Amazing
Amazingly strong and flavourful. Very peat-forward (obviously), but surprisingly sweet at first, then turns into a savoury, salty, smoky whisky. My #1 whisky

Lovely mix of sweet and peat
A real find. I love the sweetness and get orange on first sip but it’s got full bore Islay taste. As it’s cheaper than any of its lovely constituents I think it’s a bargain. Off to Islay next week and looking forward to trying more of its donors.
