Big Peat French Wine Cask Finish ~ Islay Meets French Wine Country – Scotch Whisky News
Big Peat French Wine Cask Finish
The 10 Year Old Winter Edition is here.
Big Peat 10 Year Old Winter Edition has spent its final 16 months in hand-selected French Red Wine Casks – the kind of finish that gives the Whisky the depth of aged wine and the richness of long oak influence, all without losing an ounce of Big Peat’s unmistakable Islay smoke.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Maritime peat smoke and sweet Malt are layered with dark forest fruits, spiced warmth and polished oak.
Palate
Expect warming notes of vanilla, butterscotch and salted caramel, unfolding into black cherry, ripe plum and dark chocolate.
Finish
The finish is long and luxurious, carrying home-baking spice and lingering dry peat smoke.
Big Peat is a marriage of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies only from the island of Islay. With Caol Ila spirit bringing sweetness, Bowmore the perfect balance, Ardbeg a medicinal, earthy quality and Port Ellen, a degree of elegance, Big Peat represents all that is Islay in a bottle. Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions.
