Big Peat
Finished in Rum Casks
Big Peat has taken his classic Islay Malt recipe on a bold adventure – finishing it in specially selected Rum Casks. The result? A big, sweet, and smoky Buccaneer of an Islay Malt!
Nose Peated barley and smoke give way to a warming, spicy style plus toasted marshmallows.
Palate Oily and thick with a distinctly Islay character alongside flambéed banana, barbecued meat and honey’d Malt.
Finish Coal dust lingers with a charred pineapple and allspice sweetness.
