This bottling of a 26-year-old blended malt by the independent bottler Douglas Laing was produced under the Big Peat brand with the name The Platinum Edition in the Vintage Series with exclusively malts from the island of Islay. The whisky was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2018.
Big Peat is a brand of Douglas Laing & Co. Ltd. from Glasgow. Among the company's blends, it embodies the island of Islay. Among others, whiskies from Ardbeg, Caol Ila and Bowmore can be found in this blended malt.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
