This isn’t your cozy, candlelit dram. Big Peat Christmas Edition comes roaring out of Islay, cask strength, smoke drenched, and unapologetically wild. It’s festive, yes but this limited holiday release is for peat freaks who like their stockings filled with fire.

Brand: Douglas Laing | Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
ABV: Varies by release (typically ~53-55%) | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile

Palate: Full throttle peat. Charcoal, salted caramel, black pepper, and ashy malt dominate a thick, oily mouthfeel.

Production Details
A seasonal, cask strength edition of the classic Big Peat, blended exclusively from Islay single malts, including Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Port Ellen (yes, that Port Ellen). Non chill filtered, natural color, and bottled at natural strength to keep all that smoke fully intact.

Holiday nights when the weather turns and the peat must rise. Ideal for Islay lovers, collectors, and those who like their whisky with a serious side of power.

Interesting Fact
Each Christmas Edition features Big Peat himself in a new winter scene, sometimes with a Santa hat, sometimes wrangling reindeer, always smoky. It’s become a collectible series as much as a seasonal tradition.

Serving Suggestions
Neat for full blast smoke. Add a few drops of water to open up salted caramel and subtle vanilla. Pair with smoked meats, charcuterie, or dark chocolate truffles for a next-level winter experience.

Distillery Background
Douglas Laing’s “Big Peat” is their Islay ambassador, blended from powerhouse distilleries with no grain, no shortcuts, and no apologies. The Christmas Edition dials it up to 11, proving holiday spirit doesn’t have to be sweet, it can be smoked.
