Description

The Big Peat Christmas Edition Islay Blended Malt is an annual special release from Douglas Laing, comprising malt whiskies from all active distilleries on Islay, including Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, and even the long-closed Port Ellen. Bottled at natural cask strength, it is proudly non-chill filtered and has no added colouring, delivering a full-bodied and phenolic mouthfeel. This festive dram is designed to be warming and best enjoyed on a cold winter's evening.
