Big Peat Small Batch
Big Peat Small Batch. Bottled by Douglas Laing. 700ml. 46%.
A shovelful of Islay whiskies including Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Port Ellen.
Big Peat is a hugely popular small batch Islay blended malt whisky created by legendary independent whisky bottlers Douglas Laing. Big Peat was introduced in 2009 and caught on immediately with whisky fans thanks to its informal design and use of single malts from Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Port Ellen in the assemblage, which was bottled unchillfiltered at 46%.
Big Peat was retained by Douglas Laing when the business’s assets were divided with Hunter Laing in 2013 and today is one of the company’s most recognisable and popular brands. A number of Big Peat brand extensions have followed, mostly limited editions for different markets and high strength small batch bottlings including an annual Christmas edition since 2011 and an Islay Festival special edition since 2016.
Founded in the late 1940s by Fred Douglas Laing Sr, the Douglas Laing company spent decades as whisky blenders and exporters before Fred Laing’s sons Stewart and Fred Jr introduced the highly influential Old Malt Cask single malt range in 1998. The McGibbon’s Provenance and Old & Rare Platinum series followed soon afterwards, establishing Douglas Laing as one of Scotland’s finest independent bottlers.
In 2013 Stewart Laing left the business, taking Old Malt Cask and Old & Rare to his new company Hunter Laing, while Fred Laing Jr was joined by his daughter Cara and her husband Chris Leggatt from Morrison Bowmore, who left the business in 2023. The Old Particular and Extra Old Particular ranges were introduced to replace Old Malt Cask and Old & Rare, and the company has since moved into distilling with the purchase of Strathearn distillery in 2019 and the construction of Clutha distillery in Glasgow.
