Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 Islay Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
The family firm Douglas Laing has produced just 3,000 bottles of the new award-winning Islay Malt Scotch Whisky, which is bottled at 48% alcohol strength and offered without colouring or chill-filtration, ensuring the end result captures the full expectation of Islay.
Last year, Big Peat’s Feis Ile commemorative bottling featured the faces of over 300 of his friends from all over the world and the innovation theme reaches new heights with this latest release.
Included in each gift tube are a number of illustrated stickers, inviting the purchaser to decorate and personalise their own individual pack in a fun factor that is believed to be a first for the industry. The decorative sticker designs include iconic Islay landmarks, Whisky symbols and Big Peat himself. Consumers are incentivised to share images of their creations via social media using #MyBigPeat, for a chance to win a “Taste of Islay” hamper with the Competition closing on 1st September 2018.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Natural copper-gold with warm amber depth and a luminous, sun-kissed edge.
Nose
Dried seaweed opens the nose, revealing smoky barbecued meats and a drizzle of golden syrup, with a soft peat warmth weaving through a maritime sweetness.
Palate
Smoked barley dominates the palate, entwined with damp leather and chimney soot, brightened by a subtle lemon rind accent.
Finish
Long and moreish, with a sea-salt tang that lingers alongside hints of streaky bacon and charred oak.
