  Big Peat Feis Ile 2026 PX Finish Douglas Laing Fèis Ìle Blended Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 52,6%

  Item no.: 2225468-8177

  Every summer, Islay fills with smoke, music and whisky people from every corner of the globe – that's Fèis Ìle, the island's own festival for the peat-loving crowd. Big Peat has marked it with a special release every year since 2013, and in 2026 the festival turns 40. Beneath this year's mosaic label sits a peated whisky that's been left to rest a little longer, in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks.

  Expert's Description

  Big Peat Fèis Ìle 2026 Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks and bottled at cask strength, 52.6%. The bottle's full name is Friends of Fèis Ìle 2026, Douglas Laing's contribution to the island's legendary whisky festival in its anniversary year.

  Big Peat isn't tied to a single distillery. Douglas Laing in Glasgow blends single malt whisky from several of Islay's distilleries into one whisky that gathers the island's peated character into a single bottle, without disclosing the exact sources. For this release, the father-daughter team behind the house, Fred and Cara Laing, let the blend rest further in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, and every bottle is then signed by hand. The casks lay a layer of figs, dates and roasted coffee over the earthy Islay smoke, while the whisky is neither coloured nor chill-filtered – so whatever the cask gave it stays in the glass.

  The label is a small work of art in itself: a mosaic portrait of Big Peat's bearded mascot, built from thousands of faces submitted by fans around the world. It makes the 2026 release as much a tribute to the community around the festival as to the whisky itself.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Earthy Islay peat leads the way, followed by sweet bonfire smoke, sticky figs, dates, dark-roast coffee and a hint of sea air.

  Palate

  Toasted walnuts and cocoa meet a velvety sweetness from the Pedro Ximénez Sherry, while medicinal peat and charred oak keep things balanced.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with a dry Sherry richness and a lingering, coastal smokiness that stays in the mouth.

  The Gauldrons Batch 5 Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 22234-9046

  Sea spray and heather drift together in a glass from Campbeltown's quiet coastline. The Gauldrons Batch 5 speaks for a whisky region that once ruled Scotland's distilling scene and today counts only a handful of working distilleries.

  Expert description

  The Gauldrons Batch 5 is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 46.2% ABV, assembled by independent whisky merchant Douglas Laing from selected malt whiskies distilled in the Campbeltown area.

  The series takes its name from The Gauldrons, a rocky shoreline near Campbeltown, and each batch brings together the best of the region's spirit in a fresh, limited release. Batch 5 is the fifth edition in the line, and as with previous batches the exact composition shifts as new casks are selected.

  The casks chosen for the blend are picked specifically to highlight Campbeltown's classic maritime style, where sea air and coastal maturation leave a clear mark on the whisky.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh sea air and a touch of seaweed meet sweet honey and a light streak of vanilla cream.

  Palate

  Round and salty with honeyed sweetness, soft malt and a gentle smoky undertone that adds depth without taking over.

  Finish

  Long and salty, with lingering honey sweetness that slowly gives way to dry cereal notes.

  The Gauldrons Batch 1 Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 22234-9045

  The bay of storms has lent its name to this whisky. Sea air, seaweed and a touch of honey meet in a glass from Campbeltown.

  Expert description

  The Gauldrons Batch 2 is a Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, assembled purely from malt whisky sourced from Campbeltown distilleries and bottled at 46.2% ABV.

  The name Gauldrons refers to the dark, storm-battered coves on Campbeltown's west shores, whose name roughly translates to "bay of storms", and the bottle's spiderweb design nods to the legend of Robert the Bruce, who after a defeat was inspired to keep fighting by a spider building its web in this very bay.

  Batch 2 is the second release in the series and, like the first, is bottled in small batches with no added colouring and no chill filtration, preserving the whisky's raw, maritime character.

  Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing and is today carried on by the third generation of the family, with Cara Laing a central figure following a split of the company in 2013.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Crisp sea air, gentle smoke and Manuka honey, spiced with a hint of dried seaweed.

  Palate

  Maritime character that shifts into sweet shortbread, dry oak and gristy cereal notes.

  Finish

  Distinctly spicy, with puffs of smoke, Madagascan vanilla and cinnamon pancakes.

  Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask Douglas Laing Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 53,9%

  Item no.: 0555-746

  A halved orange, steaming spices and a glass of orange wine on the table — that is what Christmas tastes like when Scallywag tries something new.

  Expert's Description

  Scallywag The Winter Edition 2024 Orange Wine Cask is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, finished in casks that previously held orange wine, bottled at 53.9%.

  Where earlier Winter Editions relied on pure sherry, the 2024 edition breaks the pattern with the wine-like, citrus-tinged character of orange wine casks laid over the classic Speyside sweetness.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Orange peel, honey and malt meet light floral tones and a wine-like freshness from the orange wine.

  Palate

  Full-bodied with sweet orange, vanilla, caramel and a hint of ginger and cinnamon.

  Finish

  Long, warm and lightly spiced with citrus oil and an elegant dryness from the wine casks.

  Big Peat Winter Edition Madeira Cask Douglas Laing Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 53.6%

  Item no.: 059555-2354

  Big Peat's peaty power meets the sweetness of a Madeira cask in this winter edition.

  Expert description

  Big Peat Winter Edition Madeira Cask is a seasonal release of the Islay blend, with part of the whisky finished in Madeira casks, bottled at cask strength, 53.6%. Big Peat was launched in 2009 by independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co as the first in the company's 'Remarkable Regional Malts' series. The idea was to create the 'ultimate distillation of Islay' by blending single malt whisky from several of the island's distilleries, including Caol Ila, Bowmore and Ardbeg, without using grain whisky. Big Peat is non-chill filtered, with no colouring added. Each year Douglas Laing releases a Christmas Edition of Big Peat at natural cask strength, and at Islay's Fèis Ìle whisky festival, special limited editions are regularly released.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers smoke, peat and a sweet Madeira-driven fruitiness.

  Palate

  The palate is smoky and full with peat, dried fruit and a sweet Madeira character.

  Finish

  The finish is long, smoky and lightly sweet.

  Craigellachie 16 year old Emporium Exclusive Douglas Laing Old Particular Single Speyside Malt Whisky 51,4%

  Item no.: 22233355-55664

  Douglas Laing does not just select casks — it also selects who may sell them. Emporium Exclusive goes only to a handful of shops, and Whisky.dk is one of them.

  Expert description

  Craigellachie 16 years Emporium Exclusive is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by Douglas Laing at 51.4% without chill filtration.

  The cask gave 210 bottles and belongs to the Old Particular range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks from distilleries across Scotland. The Emporium Exclusive line is distributed through a small, carefully chosen group of specialist retailers. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and therefore makes a heavier, meatier spirit than the rest of Speyside — sixteen years in cask gives it time to unfold without losing the edge.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Aromatic spices first, then liquorice, dark sweetness and a light herbal note. Behind them sit vanilla fudge and a touch of tropical fruit.

  Palate

  Powerful and layered. Spice, liquorice and malt meet vanilla fudge and a creamy sweetness that softens the intensity. The sulphurous distillery edge runs beneath as a mineral undercurrent.

  Finish

  Long and spiced, with liquorice, oak and a dry warmth that lingers.

  Big Peat 15th Anniversary Limited Edition Douglas Laing Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 059555-9999

  Fifteen years of the grey bearded fisherman on the label called for a celebration, and Douglas Laing chose red wine casks for the occasion. Smoke and red wine is a risky pairing — it works when the casks are hand selected.

  The expert's description

  Big Peat 15th Anniversary Limited Edition is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky finished in hand-selected red wine casks and bottled at 50 %.

  The release marks Big Peat's fifteenth anniversary and consists, as always, solely of single malts from Islay. It is neither chill filtered nor coloured and arrives in a specially designed gift box containing fifteen facts about Big Peat, Islay and the whisky itself.

  For the occasion Douglas Laing's blender assembled the finest Islay single malts and matured the greater part in hand-selected red wine casks. The result is a darker and more fruit driven Big Peat than the standard release.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Bonfire smoke and dried seaweed meet dark berries, plum and a lightly tart wine note. A sweet edge of cane sugar sits under the smoke.

  Palate

  Powerful and round with blackberry, dark chocolate and salted liquorice. The red wine casks give a tannin edge that tightens the whisky halfway through, and the 50 % provides good drive.

  Finish

  Long with ash, dark berries and a dry, lightly bitter close.

  Bunnahabhain 2004/2023 Old Particular 18 years old Douglas Laing Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 52%

  Item no.: 059763-615-920

  For three generations, Douglas Laing has had a soft spot for the quiet and the rare, and this 18 Years Old Bunnahabhain from the Old Particular range shows exactly why.

  Expert's Description

  Bunnahabhain 2004/2023 Old Particular 18 Years Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single ex-bourbon cask, bottled at 52%.

  The whisky was distilled in December 2004 and left to rest on its bourbon cask right up until July 2023, when Douglas Laing bottled it as part of their well-regarded Old Particular series – a range that has stood for unadorned single cask bottlings since 1948.

  Eighteen years on a refill bourbon cask gives the whisky room to breathe without being overwhelmed by the oak, and the result is a clear, age-stated Bunnahabhain that still lets the distillery's core character speak for itself.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and light honey surround a fresh hint of sea salt and ripe pears.

  Palate

  Soft and round with sweet bourbon cask, apple and a gentle spiciness that grows warmer as it lingers.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and lightly salty with a final touch of vanilla.

  Glengoyne 2007/2023 Old Malt Cask 16 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 059763-615-679

  Fifty-five percent of Glengoyne own range sits in sherry casks. Here Hunter Laing has done the opposite and left one refill butt alone for sixteen years.

  The expert's description

  Glengoyne 2007/2023 Old Malt Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single refill butt, bottled at 50%.

  The whisky was distilled in June 2007 and bottled in October 2023 after sixteen years. The cask gave 677 bottles, which is a lot for a single cask — a butt holds around 500 litres against half that for a hogshead.

  Old Malt Cask is the oldest range from Hunter Laing and is always bottled at 50%. The whisky is non-chill filtered and of natural colour, so the strength is the only thing adjusted.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Malt, apple and light caramel with a dry nutty note. The refill cask has let the spirit stand forward.

  Palate

  Dry and malty with green apples, nuts and a hint of honey. The 50% gives bite, but the whisky is still bright in its expression.

  Finish

  Long and dry with malt, nuts and peppery oak.

  Big Peat Christmas Edition 2023 Douglas Laing Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 54.8%

  Item no.: 059763-615-98

  For the first time in the history of the Christmas series, Big Peat was given a spell in sherry wood. Smoke met raisin, and the result became the most Christmassy version the fisherman has ever been allowed to carry.

  The expert's description

  Big Peat Christmas Edition 2023 is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky finished in sherry casks and bottled at 54.8 % cask strength.

  It is the first time in the history of the Christmas series that Big Peat has been given a sherry finish. The blend is assembled from single malts from Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and Port Ellen, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

  Douglas Laing have bottled a Christmas Edition every year since 2011, always at cask strength and always with its own composition. The 2023 vintage stands out through its cask programme rather than through its strength.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Raisin and dark syrup meet bonfire smoke and dried seaweed. A warm spice edge of clove and cinnamon fits December neatly.

  Palate

  Powerful and sweet with dried fruit, dark chocolate and salted liquorice. The sherry gives body, and the 54.8 % keeps the smoke forward so it never turns cloying.

  Finish

  Long with sweet smoke, raisin and a dry ashy close.

  Item no.: 059763-615-95

  Glasgow's restless energy is poured into a glass. This edition celebrates the city with a finish that leaves a sparkling, tangy touch of cuvée wine.

  Expert description

  The Epicurean Glasgow Edition Ex-Cuvée Cask Finish is a Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, finished in Ex-Cuvée casks and bottled at 50.4% ABV.

  The "Glasgow Edition" is a tribute to the city The Epicurean calls home, created as a marriage of some of the finest Single Malts from the Scottish Lowlands, assembled to capture the city's friendly and energetic spirit.

  The Ex-Cuvée casks previously held cuvée wine, adding a lightly tangy, winey character to the blend that sets it apart from the house's other Epicurean expressions.

  5,100 bottles of this edition were produced, with no added colouring and no chill filtration.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Crisp apple, white flowers and a hint of ripe pear, lifted by a light, sparkling tanginess.

  Palate

  Citrus fruit, toasted almond and a fine winey sweetness that ties the blend together.

  Finish

  Medium, dry and refreshing, with a last hint of apple skin.

  The Epicurean Douglas Laing Lowland Blended Scotch Whisky 46,2%

  Item no.: 2222786546899-999875

  With no water between itself and the cask, this edition of the Glasgow spirit stands razor-sharp and unfiltered, ready to be tamed with a few drops of water.

  Expert description

  The Epicurean Glasgow Edition is a Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing, bottled in limited numbers and at full cask strength, 56.8% ABV, without dilution before bottling.

  Like the house's other Epicurean expressions, this is a tribute to Glasgow and built on a marriage of Single Malts from several Lowland distilleries, but here without the smoothing a normal reduction to drinking strength would provide.

  Due to the high strength, we recommend adding a few drops of water, which opens up the characteristic citrus and caramel notes Epicurean is known for.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Intense citrus peel, warm caramel and a tangy hint of green apple, concentrated by the high strength.

  Palate

  Powerful, with burnt sugar, exotic fruit and a peppery spice that softens with a few drops of water.

  Finish

  Long, warm and lightly bitter, with a closing sweetness of honey.

  Douglas Laings Miniature Remarkable Regional Malts Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 6x5 cl 46-46,8%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280096

  Six small bottles, six Scottish regions. This is about as close to a tour of Scotland as you can get without leaving the kitchen table, and Douglas Laing has packed it into a box worth leaving out on display.

  The expert description

  Douglas Laing Remarkable Regional Malts is a set of six Blended Malt Scotch Whisky in 5 cl bottles, bottled between 46% and 46.8%.

  The range is Douglas Laing’s attempt to translate the geography of Scottish whisky into six bottles. Each release draws malt from a single area, so the difference between a Lowland and an Islay becomes something you taste your way towards rather than read about. All six are bottled at a minimum of 46% and without chill filtration.

  The set holds The Epicurean from the Lowlands at 46.2%, Timorous Beastie from the Highlands at 46.8%, Scallywag from Speyside at 46%, The Gauldrons from Campbeltown at 46.2%, Rock Island from the Islands at 46.8% and Big Peat from Islay at 46%.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The range is the entire point. From the bright citrus and cut grass of The Epicurean, through the sherry sweetness of Scallywag, to the tar, smoked ham and sea salt of Big Peat.

  Palate

  Timorous Beastie gives honey and heather, The Gauldrons salted caramel and apple, Rock Island a soft smoke with seaweed underneath. Tasted side by side, regional character stops being an abstraction.

  Finish

  Short and clean at the pale end, long and sooty at the smoky one. Order matters here. Begin with Big Peat and the rest of the evening tastes of peat.

  Big Peat 12 years old Douglas Laing Blended Islay Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280067

  Big Peat is not a distillery but a fisherman with a wild grey beard and four Islay distilleries behind him. The twelve year old is the one where he has picked up some manners — the smoke is still there, but the edges have softened.

  The expert's description

  Big Peat 12 years is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 46 % without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The blend consists solely of single malts from Islay, all at least twelve years old: Caol Ila contributes sweetness, Bowmore balance, Ardbeg the medicinal and earthy character, and Port Ellen a measure of elegance.

  Douglas Laing created Big Peat in 2009 as a single-bottle account of Islay. The firm was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing and is still run by the family from Glasgow, where they now also operate their own distillery.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Charred oak, chimney smoke and wet rock pools. Under the smoke sit vanilla, butterscotch and dark fruits such as blackcurrant and black cherry.

  Palate

  Fruit driven with toffee, dark chocolate and a nutty edge. The spiced peat smoke settles around the sweetness instead of fighting it, and the salt of the coast is obvious.

  Finish

  Long and lingering with brown sugar, bonfire ash and a dry phenolic quality that stays.

  Dailuaine 10 years old Douglas Laing Premier Barrel Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279873

  Dailuaine has supplied malt to other people's blends for over a century without getting its name on the bottle. Douglas Laing put it there — and packed the whisky in a ceramic decanter.

  Expert description

  Dailuaine 10 years Douglas Laing Premier Barrel is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry wood and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The release gave 602 bottles and belongs to the Premier Barrel range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks in ceramic decanters rather than glass. Dailuaine sits at Carron in Speyside and has since 1852 supplied a heavy, sherry-friendly malt that has almost entirely ended up in blends. Official bottlings are rare, which is why independent bottlers are the ones keeping the distillery name on the shelves.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and round. Raisin, dark chocolate and orange peel, with a warm spiced note and a trace of nuts.

  Palate

  Full and malty. Dried fruit, cocoa and a lightly tart sherry edge, with cereal and a warm spiced middle. The 46% carries the sweetness without making it heavy.

  Finish

  Medium and dry, with nuts, malt and a faintly bitter cocoa note.

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972492

  Harmony is the name on the bottle, and it is not far off. Twenty-eight years have made this grain whisky calm and balanced without costing it the natural sweetness it started with.

  Expert description

  Cameronbridge Spiritualist Harmony 1991/2020 Old Particular 28 Years is a Single Grain Scotch Whisky bottled at 52.6% without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The whisky was distilled in October 1991 and bottled in August 2020 from a single cask that gave 297 bottles for the entire world. Old Particular is Douglas Laing's series for single casks, and The Spiritualist is a sub-range where each bottle receives its own name.

  Cameronbridge in Fife is Europe's largest grain distillery and has been producing since 1824. The spirit is light and smooth, and after nearly three decades in cask it has developed the creamy depth old grain whisky is known for.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and pale caramel with ripe pear, coconut and a stroke of light grain.

  Palate

  Natural sweetness balanced by a spiced edge. Fudge, honey and citrus peel with a soft, oily texture.

  Scallywag Douglas Laing The Winter Limited Edition Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 52,6%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972484

  Winter falls fast in Speyside, and the little fox terrier with the oversized moustache returns to keep the cold at bay with sherry and spice.

  Expert's Description

  Scallywag Douglas Laing The Winter Edition is a Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Oloroso casks, and bottled at cask strength of 52.6%.

  Douglas Laing blends together several Speyside distilleries under Scallywag's distinctive fox label. This winter release leans into deep sherry character, with only 3,000 bottles produced.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark cocoa and plump raisins meet a whisper of tobacco, while warming winter spices like clove and cinnamon simmer underneath.

  Palate

  Full and round with sherry sweetness, dark chocolate and a touch of orange peel, carried by the high strength without turning sharp.

  Finish

  Long and warming, closing on spiced oak, dried fruit and a final bitter note of coffee grounds.

  Big Peat 27 years old Vintage 1992 Series No 3 The Black Edition DL Blended Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 48,3%

  Item no.: 22227865468-310

  The final chapter. After twenty-seven years the peat has become something else — barbecued meat, coal dust and rock salt, as Douglas Laing themselves described it when the bottle was let loose in 2019.

  The expert's description

  Big Peat 27 years Vintage 1992 The Black Edition is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 48.3 %.

  The whiskies were distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2019 in an outturn of 3,000 bottles, without chill filtration and without added colour. It is the closing release in the Vintage Series trilogy.

  The series began with the Gold Edition at 25 years in 2017 and continued with the Platinum Edition at 26 years in 2018. The Black Edition closes the row and is at once the oldest and the most restrained of the three in strength.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Coal dust, barbecued meat and rock salt. Beneath the heavy smoke lie dried figs, coffee and a hint of old oak.

  Palate

  Deep and broad with ash, black pepper and salted caramel. The 48.3 % makes it softer than its two predecessors, and the texture is clearly oily.

  Finish

  Very long and dry with smoke, cocoa beans and a mineral salt edge.

  Investment potential

  High: The closing release in a complete trilogy and the oldest of the three. The series will not be repeated, the outturn is 3,000 bottles, and the Black Edition is the one collectors most often lack to finish the set.

  Big Peat celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2019, the very year the Black Edition appeared. Douglas Laing marked it with both a 10 year old limited edition and the close of the trilogy in the same season.
