Big Peat 12 Years Old embodies the essence of Islay with notes of charred oak, chimney smoke, and rock pools, finishing with brown sugar and bonfire ashes. Bottled at 46% ABV without added colouring or chill-filtration, it combines Caol Ila’s sweetness, Bowmore’s balance, Ardbeg’s earthiness, and Port Ellen’s elegance, representing the finest of Islay and Scotland’s whisky regions.
Tasting Note by Douglas Laing & Co:
Nose: The nose opens clean, fresh, salty and oceanic, developing to sweet Malt dried over peat.
Palate: On the palate, anticipate charred oak, chimney smoke, rock pools and summer tar.
Finish: A long and lingering finish of brown sugar, bonfire ashes and a real phenolic quality
