Douglas Laing & Co has unveiled Big Peat Christmas 2021, the annual special bottling within their Islay Malt Scotch Whisky brand.
Offered at natural cask strength of 52.8 percent alcohol and without colouring and chill-filtration, this year’s festive release is said to be “packed with earthy, leathery, ashy charm, balanced by a wonderfully warming sweetness”.
Packaged in a lustrous icy-blue gift tube with gloss-varnished snowflakes, Big Peat’s Christmas gift tube carries bespoke illustration depicting the iconic bearded fisherman riding a sleigh on his island home of Islay. The candy-striped red and white bottle capsule that has become synonymous with the festive release completes the premium whisky’s presentation.
The limited edition launch rounds off a big year for the cult Islay Malt, a year that has seen Big Peat take home a Gold award at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Awards and the Master Medal at the Spirits Business Awards.
Big Peat Christmas 2021 will be available from specialist Scotch whisky retailers in key markets globally, including Europe, North America and Asia.
