Big Peat The Thropaigeach Edition - Rum Cask Finish - Fèis Ìle 2024, 48%, 700ml Big Peat The Thropaigeach Edition is a special release for Fèis Ìle 2024, carefully curated by Douglas Laing. This blended malt Scotch whisky combines a selection of Islay malts, each of which has been refined after maturation in a rum cask, imparting unique flavors. This limited-edition whisky stands out for its smoky profile, typical of whiskies from the Islay region. The rum cask finish adds a sweet and spicy dimension that beautifully complements the intense peat aroma, creating a deep, complex character. Aroma: peated barley and smoke give way to a warming, spicy style plus toasted marshmallows. Taste: oily and thick with a distinctly Islay character alongside flambéed banana, barbecued meat and honeyed malt. Finish: coal dust lingers with a charred pineapple and allspice sweetness.
