Douglas Laing Big Peat 12 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky - 70cl
Douglas Laing Big Peat 12 Year Old is a celebrated aged Islay blended malt Scotch whisky — combining peated Islay single malts from Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Port Ellen, matured for at least 12 years. The aged expression delivers refined peat character with greater depth, complexity, and softened maritime smoke than the non-age-statement Big Peat.
Douglas Laing & Co. is one of Scotland's most celebrated independent family-owned whisky houses — founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing in Glasgow and now run by the third generation of the Laing family. The Remarkable Regional Malts range showcases blended malts that capture the distinctive character of each celebrated Scotch whisky region. The Big Peat 12 Year Old is the aged expression of the celebrated Big Peat range — bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration.
From Douglas Laing & Co. in Glasgow, Scotland — a celebrated heritage independent whisky house dating to 1948.
A definitive aged Islay peated blended malt — perfect for serious peat enthusiasts, refined Islay whisky cabinet additions, special-occasion sipping, or contemplative neat tasting. Serve neat in a Glencairn glass with a few drops of water to open the layered smoky aromatics.
