The Big Peat Christmas Edition DL 52.8% 700ml is a limited edition blended malt whisky from Douglas Laing, specially released for the holiday season. This whisky is a celebration of the peaty, maritime flavors of Islay, a Scottish island known for its heavily peated whiskies.
The Big Peat Christmas Edition is a blend of single malts from some of the most famous distilleries on Islay, including Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and even the legendary Port Ellen. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 52.8%, this whisky is neither chill-filtered nor colored, ensuring that the true essence of its flavors is preserved.
On the nose, the Big Peat Christmas Edition offers inviting notes of torfrauch (peat smoke), tar, and sea salt, with underlying hints of toast, brioche, and waffles. There might even be a surprising touch of vegetal notes. The palate is rich and smooth, characterized by a peppery spice and more torfrauch. Notes of holiday baking and citrus fruits add depth to the palate, culminating in a full-bodied finish with a light body and a smoky, sweet finale.
This edition is not only a delight for the senses but also makes for a festive and eye-catching gift. The bottle and gift box feature the iconic Big Peat character, depicted this year enjoying a sleigh ride through the snow, with white and red accents and glitter adding to the holiday theme.
Overall, the Big Peat Christmas Edition is a must-try for fans of peated whisky and a perfect gift for the whisky lover in your life. With its bold flavors, high alcohol content, and festive packaging, this whisky is sure to impress.
