Big Peat - 12-Year-Old Blended Malt Whisky - 70 cl

Founded by Douglas Laing in 1948, this family distillery tirelessly pursues its goal: to create the best blended scotches from the best single malts of the island of Islay but also from all of Scotland.A true concentrate of Islay, Big Peat brings together in one expression the best of this iconic island. In its 12-year-old version, Big Peat reconciles the fire of Ardbeg, the very distinct character of the rare Port Ellen, the iodine notes of Caol Ila and the spicy notes typical of Bowmore finishing. Through this range, Remarkable Regional Malts, Douglas Laing has perfectly captured the spirit of an island that is nonetheless untamable.- Origin: Scotland- Nose: Islay, without a doubt.
