Big Peat is a small batch vatted Islay malt whisky from Douglas Laing: a shovelful of Islay single malt Scotch whiskies including those distilled at Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, and Port Ellen, with each bringing different qualities to the blend. A new edition of Big Peat is released to commemorate different events and themes always with the familiar bearded character illustrated on the labels in different guises.
