Douglas Laing
unveil Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 Edition
which offers fans of the peaty dram a
chance to win a "Taste of Islay" hamper.
Yes it is that time of year once again, Feis
Ile, The Islay Festival of Music and
Malt and as has now become the norm,
independent bottler Douglas Laing has
released an Islay Festival bottling of their popular Islay
blended malt, Big Peat Feis Ile 2018.
This years Big Peat
Feis Ile peat packed offering from
Douglas Laing is a limited edition
release of 3,000 bottles, bottled at 48%
ABV and as you now expect from DL,
naturally coloured and non
chill-filtered and has a RRP of £49.99.
This year, included in each gift tube
are a number of illustrated decals,
inviting the purchaser to decorate and
personalise their own individual pack in
a fun factor that I am pretty sure is a
first for the industry. Of course I
would guess the challenge will be
getting the stickers straight when
placing them on the tube after you have
had a few drams of Big Peat. The
decorative sticker designs include
iconic Islay landmarks, Whisky symbols
and Big Peat himself. Douglas Laing are
offering buyers of
Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 an
incentive to share images of their
creations via social media using #MyBigPeat,
where you will have a chance to win a "Taste
of Islay" hamper.
Cara Laing, Director of Whisky and third
generation in her family’s business,
said:
"We regard Big Peat a feisty gentleman
of great character and depth, and whilst
his particularly peated Islay Malt is
revered and merits the utmost respect,
he (and we) don’t take ourselves too
seriously. This latest Limited Edition
demonstrates Douglas Laing and Big
Peat’s flair for innovation and fun as
we encourage Whisky drinkers around the
world to enjoy a taste of Islay and its
legendary Feis Ile while they let their
creative juices flow as they design
their own bottle of Big Peat!"
So remember get those stickers on
straight ladies & gents and you may have
a chance of winning yourself a "Taste of
Islay" hamper. The competition terms and
conditions can be found at douglaslaing.com, the closing date for
the competition will be 1st September
2018.
The good news is, you don't have to go
to Islay to get your hands a bottle as
Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 Limited Edition
will be available from this month from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of
Malt
