- Description
- This 2021 Christmas limited edition blends peated malts from multiple Islay distilleries into a full-bodied, smoke-forward expression that defines Big Peat's house style. The combination of different Islay malts creates layers of peat smoke, maritime brine, and dark fruit that shift across the palate. Rich and warming without excessive harshness, it suits winter drinking and occasions calling for assertive, smoky character. A collectors' release that captures Douglas Laing's annual festive tradition.
