Douglas Laing
unveil Big Peat Christmas 2018 Cask
Strength Limited Edition
 Just as summer is drawing to a close
once again those festive folks at
Douglas Laing today unveiled the latest
instalment of their Big Peat Christmas
Series of deliciously peaty Islay
blended malts, the Big Peat Christmas
2018 Cask Strength Limited Edition which
is the 8th annual release
should be starting to appear on the
shelves of specialist whisky shops from
this month.
The Glasgow-based family owned and run
whisky business which is currently
amidst its 70th anniversary celebrations
first launched Big Peat into the global
market in 2009. Since then, the iconic
Ileach fisherman has enjoyed exponential
growth the world over, with a raft of
market-exclusive bottlings, global
limited releases and a cult following on
social media contributing to his
success, not to mention the quality of
the skilfully blended peaty Islay malt
whisky which you will find in the bottle
which has been consistently good since
its launch back in 2009.
The annual festive bottling this year
shows Big Peat dressed in Santa Claus
livery, delivering goodwill and gifts
down a chimney on "his" island home of
Islay. The premium gift tube shows
varnished snowflakes against a rich,
matte night sky, with decorative red
foil detail. As is tradition for the
Christmas Edition, "he" is bottled at a
winter-warming Cask Strength of 53.9%
ABV and as always and no doubt
contributing to the flavour and quality
of the whisky it is without colouring or
chill-filtration.
Cara Laing, Director of Whisky at her
family’s firm, commented:
"You can expect a big, ashy, beachy,
oceanic and smoky message in the bottle,
all the way from the island of Islay.
During the festive season, that chimney
soot connection seems particularly
appropriate, being the entry point of
our gift-laden Saint Nick himself. Big
Peat’s Christmas limited edition has
become truly synonymous with the season,
setting us up nicely as we prepare to
celebrate his 10th birthday in 2019."
So if you want a bottle in your stocking
this Christmas I suggest you start
dropping hints to friends family now, or
if you are the impatient sort who cant
wait to open their presents you will
find the Big Peat Christmas 2018 Edition
will be available from September from
specialist online whisky shops such
as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of
Malt usually priced around
£55.
