Douglas Laing Releases Big Peat Boulevardier Cocktail Drink


7th November 2024
Douglas Laing unveil Big Peat Boulevardier, a limited release ready made cocktail drink with their big peaty blended malt at its heart.

Big Peat Boulevardier Cocktail DrinkDouglas Laing – Glasgow based independent Scotch Whisky Blender, Bottler and Distiller – has unveiled their latest creation: the ‘Big Peat Boulevardier,’ a handcrafted, small-batch, cask-aged cocktail. Drawing from the popularity of their iconic Big Peat Islay Blended Malt, this release is said to blend the rich, smoky flavours of Islay whisky with the classic cocktail’s sweet and bitter notes, offering a distinct twist on the traditional Boulevardier.

The Big Peat Boulevardier is aged in a single ex-Big Peat Islay cask, bottled at 29.5% ABV, with only 450 bottles available in this limited release. It combines signature Islay peat smoke and sweet malt flavours with hints of spice, oak, and bitterness for a perfectly balanced profile.

Designed for easy enjoyment, Douglas Laing tells me that it’s best served by simply pouring over ice, stirring, garnishing with an orange peel, and savouring this unique take on an iconic cocktail.

Commenting on the Big Peat Boulevardier, Chloe Wood, Big Peat’s Brand Manager, said: "Working on the creation of the Big Peat Boulevardier has been a fantastic experience. Staying true to the brand roots of Big Peat – highlighting his connection to Islay and the Malts that make up the Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky – while bringing this to life in cocktail form was incredibly enjoyable.

"The Boulevardier is well respected within the cocktail community, and using top-tier components in its creation was always a priority. The specific recipe highlights the elements that make Big Peat so special – Islay smoke, fruitiness, and an overall depth of flavour. When combined with the classic bitter style of a Boulevardier, these qualities are showcased beautifully.

"We hope this small-batch cocktail will be a hit with fans of the Big Peat brand, as well as those looking to try something unique in the lead-up to the festive season."

Big Peat Boulevardier has a RRP of £28 and is available direct from Douglas Laing's website.
