Big Peat Beach BBQ Edition – Fèis Ìle 2022
Big Peat
Tasting Notes
Imagine yourself lounging by the beach, the salty sea breeze caressing your face, as the tantalizing aroma of a smoky barbecue wafts through the air. That's the essence of the Big Peat Beach BBQ Edition, a limited-edition whisky crafted by Douglas Laing to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2022. This blend of Islay malts offers a delightful fusion of flavors that transport you straight to a seaside cookout. The nose greets you with hints of charred barley, reminiscent of sizzling meats on the grill, complemented by the sweetness of honey-roasted peanuts and a zesty twist of salted lemons. On the palate, the coastal peat takes center stage, harmoniously mingling with notes of dark chocolate, savory salt and pepper crisps, and the leathery aroma of a well-worn jacket. The finish lingers with a delightful combination of peppery spice, smoky embers, and the woody essence of charred cedar.
