Douglas Laing’s Big Peat 15th Anniversary [700ML]

Description

Looking for a peated whisky that commemorates one of Islay’s most beloved blended malts with exceptional character?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m thrilled to present Douglas Laing’s Big Peat 15th Anniversary, a limited edition release celebrating fifteen years of this iconic premium Islay blend. This commemorative bottling showcases Douglas Laing’s masterful artistry in combining single malts from Islay’s legendary distilleries, delivering that signature maritime peat smoke fans have cherished since 2009. Unlike heavily peated single expressions like Peat’s Beast Cask Strength, this anniversary edition balances intensity with remarkable complexity, while offering more robust peat character than Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie.

• Producer: Douglas Laing & Co. – Independent bottler since 1948, renowned for artisan blends
• Region: Islay – Scotland’s peat capital, known for maritime smoke and iodine notes
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that opens up beautifully with water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Blend of aged Islay single malts from multiple cask types
• Tasting Notes: Nose unveils bonfire smoke, sea spray, and hints of vanilla. Palate delivers robust peat with caramelized citrus, dark chocolate, and coastal brine. Finish lingers with warming smoke and sweet malt
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to release hidden sweetness

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this anniversary expression showcases remarkable balance between aggressive peat and underlying sweetness, making it more approachable than typical Islay bruisers while maintaining authentic coastal character.

Ideal for: Whisky collectors seeking limited editions, milestone celebrations, or sophisticated corporate gifts. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian fare like beef rendang, black pepper crab, or aged cheddar with dark chocolate. Recommended for: Peat enthusiasts ready to explore beyond single distillery bottlings, or those who appreciate Port Charlotte’s heavily peated style but seek blended complexity. Available now at RM 305 with delivery across Malaysia.
