The wine

Big Peat Gold is a special edition released in 2017 composed of whiskies distilled in 1992 and matured for 25 years. Big Peat is part of the Regional Malts range, created in 2009 by Douglas Laing to promote the unique style of each region. This expression is produced entirely from the Islay whiskies Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Port Ellen. The other bottlings in the range are Rock Island (formerly Rock Oyster) for the islands, Scallywag for Speyside, Timorous Beastie for the Highlands and Epicurean for the Lowlands. Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, primarily as a blending company but also as an independent bottler, an activity which grew over the years. A limited edition of 3,000 bottles. It was followed by two other special editions from the same vintage, Platinum and Black, aged for 26 and 27 years respectively.
