Big Peat 12 Year
$114.99
Producer Note: "Big Peat is a marriage of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies only from the island of Islay. With Caol Ila spirit bringing sweetness, Bowmore the perfect balance, Ardbeg a medicinal, earthy quality and Port Ellen, a degree of elegance, Big Peat represents all that is Islay in a bottle. Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions."
Big Peat is an Islay icon at this point, but it's the variants in the range, such as this 12-year-old, that are keeping it in the spotlight. And if they're still declaring 'Port Ellen' on the label, you know that the 12 year age statement is more than three times younger than the oldest whisky in this bottling.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.

Limited Edition Whisky bottlings celebrating the Chinese New Year are so hot right now, guys! Move over, Johnnie Walker and Kavalan - Douglas Laing is getting in on the action with the Rock Island Year of the Dragon Edition.
Bottled at a pleasantly robust 54.8% ABV, this edition of Rock Island features a marriage of single malts from the Scottish Isles of Arran, Islay, Jura, and Orkney. Evan was somewhat disappointed at whisky from Mull not being included, but his mood improved thanks to the use of heavily charred casks for finishing.
From The Producer
"Honouring the importance that wood plays in the creation of Scotch Whisky, this edition of Rock Island has been finished in heavily charred casks, giving the spirit an opportunity to extract layer upon layer of rich flavour from the wood."
