Big Peat Christmas Edition 2023 Islay Malt
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, the 2023 Christmas Bottling marks a special milestone in Big Peat history—it is finished in fine Sherry casks for the first time ever! This unique cask finish infuses Big Peat’s signature ash, tar, and maritime smoke with rich, dried-fruit holiday sweetness. Bottled at a punchy, natural cask strength of 54.8% ABV (109.6 Proof) without chill-filtration or added coloring, it delivers a rich, cask-strength Islay experience guaranteed to warm up winter nights.
In the glass, it presents a pale amber hue with warm gold reflections. The nose opens with an explosive, peat-forward bouquet of smoldering campfire embers, salty sea breeze, and tarry ropes, harmoniously balanced by notes of dark raisins, spiced fruitcake, and orange zest. On the palate, a full-bodied, oily texture unleashes intense flavors of heavy peat smoke, medicinal brine, and cracked pepper, enveloped in rich layers of dark chocolate, dried figs, and warm cinnamon. The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and lingering, slowly tapering off with sweet sherry fruitiness, dry peat ash, and a touch of sea salt.
A must-have holiday bottle for Islay whisky collectors, peated Scotch enthusiasts, and festive gift givers, Big Peat Christmas Edition 2023 is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its festive sweet-and-smoky harmony. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
