The Douglas Laing Family Limited Edition Big Peat Christmas Edition Batch 101 is a special bottling crafted specifically for the holiday season. This cask strength Scotch whisky is a bold blend of single casks and single malts from the prestigious Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Port Ellen distilleries on the island of Islay. With an impressive alcohol volume of 53.1%, this whisky is not chill-filtered and contains no coloring or additives, preserving its natural integrity. Bottled in 2020, this limited edition release is both a celebration of the festive season and a homage to the rich, peaty flavors that Islay whiskies are renowned for.
The nose of this whisky is filled with enticing aromas of cedar, grilled meat, and green apple, complemented by hints of pepper, cold metal, and smoke on the palate. This harmonious blend results in a rich and complex flavor profile that is both bold and refined. The Big Peat Christmas Edition is a raw, cask strength Scotch whisky with a natural flavor profile that is sure to please whisky enthusiasts. The use of peated malt from some of the most renowned distilleries on Islay ensures a memorable tasting experience, with the lack of chill filtration and added coloring allowing the whisky to retain its authentic flavors and characteristics.
More gentle, sweet, and delicate compared to previous versions, this Big Peat Christmas Edition is still a delicious dram. The initial nose presents gentle notes of peat in the background, mingling with sweet and fruity aromas, and subtle hints of bitter iodine and leather. On the palate, the whisky arrives sweetly and develops slowly, revealing smooth notes of peat, fruity leather, and a touch of bitterness. The experience is reminiscent of a visit to an old storehouse, with nuances of seaweed, a little salt, and sand. The finish is not overly long, but it leaves a lasting impression of sweet peat and some bitter leather notes. This limited edition of Big Peat is an ideal gift for fans of peated whiskies, especially during the holiday season.
