Big Peat

Established in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, a man with a genuine love and serious passion for Whisky, Douglas Laing & Co. is a proudly independent, family owned Scotch Whisky Distiller, Blender and Bottler now in its third generation. Douglas Laing is responsible for some of the most exciting bottlings around. 

Douglas Laing's Big Peat is a feisty Islay character with a sweet side. This is a small batch bottling, without coloring or chill-filtration and only contains Islay Malt Whiskies, including Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and, shockingly,  Port Ellen. 

Warm slabs of tangy peat. Hints of chocolate, coffee and cedar with spices, walnuts and almond. A touch of cinnamon with oily smoke. Simple, easy going, but delicious. Notes of heavy smoke, cut grass, peanut, spices and peat. Quite abrupt with cut grass, coastal notes and smoke.
