Big Peat

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.

ABV: 46%

Score: 85 Points

This vatted malt combines whiskies from several Islay distilleries, and lives up to its name. The nose is smoky with hints of maple, dried leaves, almonds, and nutmeg. The taste balances peat smoke with maple syrup and molasses undertones, and the finish is dry and smoky.
