Big Peat DL Small Batch 46% 700ml is a distinctive blended malt whisky crafted exclusively from single malts hailing from the revered Islay region. This expression, bottled in 2009 by the esteemed Douglas Laing, incorporates key distillates from prominent distilleries such as Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Bowmore, and small quantities from the now silent Port Ellen distillery. True to the traditional methods, it is bottled without coloring and non-chill filtered at 46% ABV, ensuring a genuine and robust taste experience. The name "Big Peat" speaks volumes about the whisky’s character. Enthusiasts are treated to an intense, phenolic profile characterized by peat smoke, tar, and medicinal notes. Douglas Laing, an independent bottler established in 1948 in Glasgow and still family-owned, caters to die-hard Islay fans with this creation. Their expertise in aging and selecting fine whiskies has enabled them to build successful proprietary brands, with Big Peat standing out as a testament to their dedication and knowledge.
