Great aroma to fire up the palate. I was at one end of a table for 12 and the far end people picked up the aroma as soon as I sat down. And then tasted the peat. Yummie. Why would you add a mixer to a malt??
Very nice on its own - goes down easily and has plenty of peat. But not a huge fan of the underlying sweetness. If you add a mixer that sweetness becomes overwhelming. Still, would recommend for sipping!
Quite simply divine. I was gifted this for my birthday and am now back buying a bottle. Such was the quality.
I was a bit put off by the "trendy" branding but decided to give it a go as the description of the balanced, smokey, peaty blend contained malts that I love in their own right. I am very taken by the complexity and smoothness of the result and the accurate description. So, against my usual old-fashioned clinging to single malts approach, Big Peat proves it is time to add blends from Douglas Laing. A definite five stars with a splash of water.
Was given a bottle of this and I WANT MORE!! Imagine stirring your dram with a charred Oak stick, then throw in some leaves, vanilla and banana. Oily, tarry and utterly AWESOME. I usually ONLY drink Irish Whiskey, but I'm a convert.
