Douglas Laing Big Peat Blended Malt Scotch Whisky - 70cl
Douglas Laing Big Peat is a celebrated Islay blended malt Scotch whisky — combining single malts from the famed peated distilleries of Islay, including Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and the legendary closed Port Ellen distillery. The expression is renowned worldwide as one of the most respected Islay blended malts available, bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or artificial colouring.
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. Big Peat is the brand's signature Islay expression — named after the imaginary character "Big Peat," the bearded Islay fisherman pictured on every bottle.
From Douglas Laing & Co. in Glasgow, Scotland — a celebrated heritage independent whisky house dating to 1948.
A definitive Islay peated blended malt — perfect for peat enthusiasts, refined Islay whisky cabinet additions, contemporary cocktail use, or contemplative neat tasting. Serve neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature with a few drops of water to open the smoky aromatics.
