Douglas Laing has gone and made a limited edition bottling of Big Peat in celebration of Christmas 2021, appropriately dubbed Big Peat at Christmas 2021. An annual tradition for the fab independent bottler, this blended malt is made with malt whiskies from a medley of marvellous Islay distillery, and boasts a full-bodied peaty profile. It's also got the titular character Big Peat on the label enjoying a spot of sledding. He seems to be enjoying himself.
Tarry rope, stroopwafel, toasted brioche, vegetal peat smoke.
Still richly smoky, with a crackle of black pepper bringing a core of spiciness, rounded by orange and lemon.
Very slightly floral, but peaty notes carry on and on.

Still enjoying this one and back for me and it’s august
Great, great, great!
I’d drink this all year round!
So deliciously delightful. A festive favorite in my house and this one was an excellent example of a quality Islay whisky at a sensible price
Big Peat Christmas - this annual release is getting better... one for me (and opened) and one for my Dad... might open that too!!
