Description

Douglas Laing's Big Peat Small Batch Islay Blended Malt is a remarkable marriage of single malt whiskies exclusively from the island of Islay. It features malts distilled at Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, and the elusive Port Ellen, renowned for their predominantly peaty and smoky character. This small batch bottling is presented at 46% ABV, without colouring or chill-filtration, allowing its naturally oily character to reign supreme. It is part of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts series and has received accolades such as 'Best Blended Malt Scotch Whisky' at the World Whiskies Awards 2010 and 'Scotch Vatted Malt of the Year' in the Whisky Bible 2011.

Nose
Opens fresh, salty, and clean, developing to sweet malt dried over peat, with hints of iodine, citrus, and sometimes a faint bacon aroma.
Palate
Big peat smoke dominates, with notes of ashes, sweet tar, beaches, smoking chimneys, and a maritime brininess. Fleeting vanilla sweetness, pepperiness, and sometimes a hint of rubber or diesel can be detected.
Finish
Long and lingering, replicating the palate with salty, tangy liquorice, smoke, bonfire ashes, and a pronounced phenolic quality, sometimes with bitter chocolate or damp bonfire ash.
