Douglas Laing Big Peat 33

Big Peat’s oldest ever bottling!
A 33 Years Old Cognac & Sherry Finished of just 1,500 bottles. Created to showcase the more mature side of Big Peat, this latest Limited Edition carries spirit distilled on Islay in 1985.

The blended malt has been bottled at 47.2% ABV without colouring or chill-filtration.
The packaging has been designed to demonstrate the “more mature side of Big Peat”, and includes a textured gift tin with gloss varnish and foil detailing.

Fred Laing, creator of Big Peat and Douglas Laing chairman, said: “Having briefly experimented with the first ever Sherry finish for our big Islay pal back in 2017 (for the Fèis Ìle festival bottling) we received some phenomenal feedback and requests, nay, demands, for further such innovation.
