About This Whisky

Big Peat Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 46%

The Big Peat Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is an award-winning Islay blended malt Scotch whisky from the renowned independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co. Crafted using an exceptional selection of Islay's finest single malts, Big Peat is a bold celebration of Scotland's legendary whisky island, delivering an unmistakable combination of rich peat smoke, maritime character and remarkable complexity.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Big Peat contains only single malt Scotch whiskies, with no grain whisky included.

Presented at natural colour and without chill filtration, Big Peat delivers an authentic whisky experience packed with coastal freshness, earthy peat, citrus zest, sweet malt and warming spice. It has become one of Douglas Laing's most recognisable and best-selling whiskies, loved by peat enthusiasts around the world.


The Ultimate Islay Blended Malt

Unlike traditional blended Scotch whisky, Big Peat is a Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, meaning it is created exclusively from single malt whiskies, with no grain whisky added.

Big Peat combines carefully selected malts from some of Islay's most celebrated distilleries, including:

  • Ardbeg – Intense peat smoke and earthy complexity.
  • Bowmore – Elegant fruit, smoke and floral notes.
  • Caol Ila – Maritime freshness, citrus and refined peat.
  • Port Ellen – Rare coastal character and smoky depth (historically included in the blend).

The result is a rich, smoky whisky that balances bold peat with sweet malt, citrus and maritime freshness.

About Douglas Laing and Co

Douglas Laing and Co Distillery

Douglas Laing & Co. is one of Scotland's most respected independent Scotch whisky bottlers and blenders. Founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing in Glasgow, the family-owned company has spent over 75 years sourcing, maturing and bottling exceptional Scotch whisky from some of Scotland's most prestigious distilleries.

Unlike traditional whisky distilleries, Douglas Laing does not own or operate a production distillery for the majority of its history. Instead, it has built its reputation by selecting outstanding casks from renowned Scottish distilleries and releasing them under its celebrated independent bottling ranges. (In recent years, Douglas Laing has established Strathearn Distillery in Perthshire, marking its move into whisky production.)

Douglas Laing is internationally recognised for its commitment to natural presentation, with many whiskies bottled at natural colour, without chill filtration, and often at cask strength, allowing whisky enthusiasts to experience each expression as naturally as possible.

The company is particularly famous for its Remarkable Regional Malts collection, which celebrates Scotland's whisky-producing regions through expertly crafted blended malts. Iconic expressions include Big Peat (Islay), Scallywag (Speyside), Timorous Beastie (Highlands), Rock Island (Scotland's Islands), Epicurean (Lowlands) and The Gauldrons (Campbeltown). Each expression is made exclusively from single malt Scotch whiskies, with no grain whisky added.

In addition to its regional malts, Douglas Laing is highly regarded for its Old Particular and XOP (Xtra Old Particular) ranges, which feature carefully selected single cask bottlings from some of Scotland's rarest and most sought-after distilleries. These limited-edition releases are prized by collectors and whisky enthusiasts for their authenticity, rarity and exceptional quality.

Today, Douglas Laing & Co. remains one of the leading names in independent Scotch whisky, combining traditional family values with decades of expertise in cask selection and maturation. Its award-winning portfolio continues to showcase the diversity and excellence of Scotch whisky, making Douglas Laing a trusted name among collectors and whisky lovers worldwide.
