Douglas Laing's Big Peat 20cl 46%

A remarkable marriage of only malt whiskies, only from Islay.

This bottle carries a big, sooty, beachy, oceanic, and seriously phenolic selection of malts distilled only on Scotlands whisky island of Islay, from where the Douglas Laing family director hails. Islays distilleries are renowned for their predominantly peaty, smoky character, all offering variations on the theme of ash, beach bonfires, coal dust and tar. Big Peat the characterful Ileach fisherman, encapsulates that feisty spirit of Islay in this very bottle: The Caol Ila casks deliver elements of sweetness, Bowmore a maritime character, Ardbeg an earthy, gristy quality and Port Ellen, a certain leathery elegance!
