BigPeat(700mL)

<p>Big Peat, Big Feet, Big Neat. </p><p><em>The Douglas Laing Company</em> was founded in <em>1948 </em>by — you guessed it — Douglas Laing. They have a stellar reputation as one of the leading independent bottlers of Scotch Whisky in the <em>United Kingdom</em>. They started as by purchasing single casks of<em> fine Single Malts</em>. Then they grew to create their own blends. Now they even commission small batch production from some of the finest Whisky makers in Scotland and a few small shops too. This has allowed them to develop a solid range of private-label products to round out the offerings.</p><p>Big Peat is a <em>Blended Malt Whisky</em> (a mixture of single Malt Whiskies that contains no grain Whisky or a marriage of Malts as the Scotch Whisky industry has traditionally called it), a blend of Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Port Ellen. No chill filtration takes place, but a more old fashioned traditional approach, which amplifies the sea-faring qualities on the nose, palate, and finish. Quite phenolic. </p>
