Big Peat 10-year-old Limited Edition / 46% / 0.7l

In 2019, Douglas Laing & Co. celebrated the tenth anniversary of the launch of Big Peat Blended Islay Malt.

Big Peat was the forerunner of the Remarkable Regional Malts series, which currently consists of five blended malts reflecting the character of five whisky regions in Scotland. In ten years, this whisky has gained huge popularity and thousands of devoted fans around the world. According to Fred Laing, director of Douglas Laing & Co., "since its launch, sales of the Big Peat brand have grown by an average of 29% per year." Each bottle of the anniversary edition comes with an envelope with a booklet telling the story of Big Peat's conquest of the world. 5,100 bottles were distributed.
