Douglas Laing Independent Bottling REMARKABLE REGIONAL MALTS - Big Peat
Origin：Scotland/Capacity：700ml/Alcohol：46%
Basic Info
Big Peat contains Malt Whisky ONLY from the island of Islay – some say it’s the ultimate taste of Islay… we’d be bound to agree!
With a PPM of 40, Big Peat is a feisty Islay character but with a sweet side too – ‘he’ carries a big peaty (“phenolic”), beachy, oceanic, rather ashy selection of malts only from the magical Whisky Island of Islay… Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and (even the now closed) Port Ellen to name but a few!
We do not chill-filter – we prefer a more old fashioned traditional approach.
Nose: Fresh, salty and clean, developing to malted barley dried over peat with a damp earthy character
Palate: Ashes, sweet tar, beaches and smoking chimneys
Finish: Long and lingering, it replicates the palate with salty, tangy liquorice, smoke, bonfire ashes - being foremost: PHENOLIC
