Douglas Laing
marks this years Islay Festival with the
release of Big Peat Beach BBQ Edition
Fèis Ìle 2022, a cask strength limited
edition of 3,000 bottles.
 Douglas
Laing today unveiled their special
Big Peat bottling for Fèis Ìle 2022, Big Peat
Beach BBQ Edition Fèis Ìle 2022.
To mark this years Islay Festival they have bottled a total
of 3,000 bottles of Big Peat at what
should be a flavoursome cask
strength of 54.2% ABV and Douglas Laing
tells me that fans of the 'cult' Islay
Blended Malt can expect tasting notes of
"smoky, maple-cured bacon", "charred
oak" and "chewy salted toffee".
You have got to love the creative
artistic work Douglas Laing puts into this
brand, the Big Peat Beach BBQ
Edition Fèis Ìle 2022 is presented in a
premium gift tube, with the brand’s
'signature' yellow colourways
complemented by deep navy. Big Peat
himself is shown at the helm of the
barbeque, grilling smoky meats to pair
with his Islay Malt, amidst a
tempestuous Hebridean rainstorm. Gloss
varnish brings to life the raindrops on
the packaging in a tactile, eye-catching
finish.
In support of the launch, the team
behind the iconic Islay Malt brand have
partnered with the artisan pizza
restaurant in Islay’s capital of Bowmore
– the aptly-named 'Peatzeria'. Together,
they’ll host two exclusive, now sold-out
tasting sessions during Fèis Ìle, where
ticket holders will get the chance to
sample different Big Peat expressions
and even an extremely old and rare Port
Ellen Malt, paired with fresh local
delicacies.
If you wont be one of the lucky ones
visiting Islay for the Fèis Ìle 2022,
Islay's renowned whisky and music
festival, Douglas Laing are offering
Islay Malt enthusiasts the chance to
purchase one of just 70 Big Peat tasting
packs, culminating in an interactive
online tasting on 20th June, the Big
Peat tasting packs will be available
from the Douglas Laing website shop[.
Commenting on the special edition
bottling, Cara Laing, Marketing
Director, said: "An authentic Scottish
summer doesn’t always bring blue skies
and golden rays, but come rain or shine,
our feisty Ileach fisherman is ready to
embrace a smoke-filled beach barbecue in
celebration of Fèis Ìle! Hand-selected
for their charred meat, salty sea-air
flavour profile, this remarkable limited
edition is a marriage of Single Cask
Single Malts, only from Islay. Big Peat
looks forward to headlining the Islay
Festival with a series of tasting
events, both in person and online,
bringing the true taste of Islay to
whisky enthusiasts the world over. After
all, he is Seriously Committed to
SMOKE!"
