Big Peat Feis Ile 2020
Details
The Islay Whisky Festival went virtual this year, but it hasn't stopped the releases...!
The Big Peat release this year has an age statement at 8 Years Old, and honours Islay's legendary A846 road that takes whisky lovers from one glorious distillery to the next. Bowmore, Port Ellen, Laphroaig, Lagavulin & Ardbeg. (and Caol Ila and Bunna if you count the start at Port Askaig).
Tasting notes
Nose - Opens with puffs of peat, smoked ham and a fresh seaside saltiness.
Palate - A Big Peat hit closely followed by chewed leather, streaky bacon and rock salt.
Finish - Satisfyingly long with notes of Madeira cake, sweet tobacco and more of that earlier smoked ham.
Ideally paired with Speyside Chocolate from Chocisky.
From the Big Peat Mastery of Douglas Laing.
