Scottish Whisky maker and distributor Douglas Laing has expanded its Big Peat range with the addition of 25 Years Old Islay ‘Vatted’ Malt Gold Edition.

Douglas Laing noted that the new Scotch Whiskey product is the first in a three-part series, which includes Islay’s Single Malts distilled at Ardbeg, Bowmore, and Port Ellen.

The company will be releasing the other two Gold Edition products in the near future.

Douglas Laing Whisky director Cara Laing said: “With this specialist series in mind, we’ve been sampling certain casks over the years and feel now that Big Peat’s aged Vatting is ripe for release.

“With 52.1% alcohol by volume (ABV), Douglas Laing’s Big Peat 25 Years Old is claimed to be offered without any added colouring.”

“Our very special marriage of Islay Single Malts is bursting with rich, deep, phenolic and typically Islay flavours, clearly showing Big Peat’s signature sweet smokiness at its heart. It will be fascinating to see how the spirit develops as the trilogy progresses.”

With 52.1% alcohol by volume (ABV), Douglas Laing’s Big Peat 25 Years Old is claimed to be offered without any added colouring.

The company is reported to have produced 3,000 bottles of Big Peat’s 25 Years Old, which will be available at specialist whisky retailers from December this year.
