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.
