Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 Douglas Laing Fèis Ìle Blended Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 48%

Item no.: 22227865468-8114

An early Fèis Ìle release of Big Peat, created for Islay's 2018 whisky festival.
Expert description
Big Peat Feis Ile 2018 is a limited edition of the Islay blend, created specifically for the 2018 Fèis Ìle festival, bottled at 48%. 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 hint of sea salt.
Palate

Big Peat 25 years old Vintage 1992 Series No 1 Gold Edition Douglas Laing Blended Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 52,1%

Item no.: 22227865468-289

The first chapter of a trilogy that began with a question: what happens to Islay smoke when it is left for a quarter of a century? The answer is not less smoke — it is smoke with manners.
The expert's description
Big Peat 25 years Vintage 1992 Gold Edition is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 52.1 % cask strength.
The whiskies were distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2017 in an outturn of 3,000 bottles. The release is neither chill filtered nor coloured and is the first of three in Douglas Laing's Vintage Series.
The Gold Edition opened a trilogy that continued with the Platinum Edition at 26 years and The Black Edition at 27 years. All three come from the same 1992 vintage and are built from some of Islay's most sought after single malts.
Tasting notes
Nose
Complex and nuanced. Smoke meets caramel and vanilla, with dried fruit, sea salt and a light medicinal tone behind.
Palate
Full and oily. Powerful peat smoke up front, balanced by honey and burnt sugar, followed by dark chocolate, leather and spice.
Finish
Long and warm, with peat and sweetness fading slowly. An elegant dryness of oak and nuts closes it.

Big Peat Christmas Edition 2017 Douglas Laing Islay Blended Malt Whisky 54,1%

Item no.: 22227865468-2017

Half a percentage point below the year before, but an entirely different mood in the glass. The 2017 edition has more sea and less bonfire — a Christmas dram for anyone who would rather stand on the pier than sit by the fire.
The expert's description
Big Peat Christmas Edition 2017 is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 54.1 % cask strength.
The blend is assembled from single malts from Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Port Ellen and bottled as a small batch without chill filtration and without added colour.
In the Christmas editions Douglas Laing emphasise the maritime side of Islay, and the 2017 vintage is a clear example: salt, seaweed and cold sea air take up more room than the dry ash.
Tasting notes
Nose
Salt and bitter peat with heavy smoke, yet bright enough for citrus to break through. Seaweed and wet stone sit beneath it all.
Palate
Peat from the first drop, with shifting layers of oil and salt turning into light vanilla and spice. There is a clear sea flavour, put there on purpose.
Finish
Long and persistent with smoke, salt and a dry peppery close.

Blackadder Raw Cask Peat Reek 2016 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 61.8%

Item no.: 22227865363-265

There are small flakes at the bottom of the bottle. That is not a fault — it is the whole point. Raw Cask means the whisky has gone from cask to glass without being cleaned up in any way.
Expert description
Blackadder Raw Cask Peat Reek 2016 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single Oak Hogshead, bottled at cask strength, 61.8%.
Peat Reek is Blackadder's series for peated Islay whisky where the distillery name is withheld. Robin Tucek, who runs the house, has consistently kept the source confidential, but the series name leaves little doubt about what waits in the glass. Cask PR2016-2 yielded 279 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Raw Cask is the house signature: filtration is coarse enough only to hold back the largest pieces of wood. Everything else comes along, including the particles and sediment that settle in the bottle over time. The method produces an unusually thick, flavour-saturated whisky.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dry peat smoke and heather, with lemon peel, salted caramel and a trace of iodine underneath. Cask strength makes the aroma sharp and penetrating.
Palate
Massive and oily. Soot, black pepper, toasted barley and a honeyed sweetness fighting the smoke for room.
Finish
Very long with ash, salt and dried citrus. The smoke stays put well after the glass has been set down.

Finlaggan Cask Strength Single Islay Malt Whisky 58%

Item no.: 22227865426-600

Finlaggan is the name of the island in the loch from which the Lords of the Isles once ruled the Hebrides. The whisky carries the name but not the distillery, because who made it is something you do not get told.
The expert description
Finlaggan Cask Strength is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at cask strength 58%.
Behind the bottle stands The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, a family firm from Glasgow founded in 1992. They buy casks from an undisclosed Islay distillery and bottle them under the Finlaggan name, which is an entirely ordinary arrangement when a distillery sells casks on without wanting its name on the label.
Cask Strength is the heaviest in the range and is bottled without dilution, without chill filtration and without colouring. The 58% makes a difference you notice immediately: the smoke sits denser and oilier than the same whisky would at 46%.
Tasting notes
Nose
Deep peat smoke and burnt wood, enriched by subtle hints of iodine and seaweed of the kind Islay is known for.
Palate
Vigorous and full bodied with an intense wave of smoke and malt, and a slight underlying sweetness that balances the robust peat character.
Finish
Long and persistent with an enveloping warmth that gradually releases nuances of dark chocolate and spices.

Expert Review

The release is a Committee Release, reserved for members of Ardbeg's own fan community, and is among the oldest vintage bottles the distillery has ever released at this scale.

Big Peat Christmas Edition 2016 Douglas Laing Islay Blended Malt Whisky 54,6%

Item no.: 22227865468-241

Douglas Laing's Christmas release has never been the soft, cosy type. It is the one that comes in from the cold in a wet coat smelling of bonfire — the 2016 edition in particular.
The expert's description
Big Peat Christmas Edition 2016 is an Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 54.6 % cask strength.
The blend consists solely of single malts from Islay, and the Christmas release is traditionally bottled stronger than the standard version. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
The Christmas Edition has been a fixed annual event at Douglas Laing since Big Peat was launched in 2009. Every edition has its own strength and its own composition, and they are bottled only in the year they are named after.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried seaweed, bonfire smoke and ash with a pronounced medicinal note. Sweet malt, vanilla and a touch of spice keep it from turning cold, and a freshness of citrus and pepper lifts it.
Palate
Powerful and warm with clear peat smoke, salty sea air and a marked ash profile. Black pepper, liquorice, toasted barley and a hint of caramel step forward, and the 54.6 % is well integrated.
Finish
Long, dry and smoky with persistent ash, pepper and a salty minerality.

Ardmore 2016 Heavily Peated Coopers Choice Bourbon Cask Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865392-988

Heavily Peated it says on the label, and that is worth reading twice. Ardmore normally sits moderate on the peat, but when the distillery turns it up and a single cask catches it, you get something quite different from the usual Highland smoke.
Please note: The label on this bottle is wrinkled.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore 2016 Heavily Peated Coopers Choice is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a used bourbon cask and bottled at 46%. Cask 8048 was distilled in 2016 and gave 270 bottles.
The Coopers Choice is the single cask range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., a house founded in 1992 by Brian Crook. He holds an honours degree in food science and had twenty years in the malt whisky trade behind him, latterly as export director for one of Scotland’s principal distillers, before setting out on his own.
A used bourbon cask gives less vanilla and less colour than a first fill, and that is precisely why the smoke can stand out so clearly here. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dry peat smoke first, more soot and embers than open fire. Behind it come vanilla, toasted malt and a light citrus peel. There is a clear earthy note that is Ardmore’s fingerprint.
Palate
The smoke fills the mouth immediately and stays. Beneath it sit malt sweetness, baked apple and a touch of honey, while a dry peppery note tightens things mid-palate. At 46% the body is good, and the cask’s restraint lets the smoke take the lead.
Finish
Long and dry. Ash, malt and a lightly bitter oak note that lets go slowly.

Kilchoman Sanaig Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

Item no.: 22227865411-401

If Machir Bay is Kilchoman's bright, fresh public face, Sanaig is the darker, more contemplative younger sibling. Named after a rocky coastline north of the distillery, it's built to balance sherry depth against Islay peat smoke.
Expert's description
Kilchoman Sanaig is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46 %.
Sanaig was developed as a counterpoint to Machir Bay: where the flagship rests mainly on bourbon casks, Sanaig is built from a majority of oloroso sherry casks, giving it a deeper, darker and spicier profile. The sherry casks come from Miguel Martin in Jerez, the same supplier that also provides casks to Glenfarclas.
The result is a whisky that holds on to Kilchoman's citrus-fresh signature smoke, but lets it play alongside caramel, dried fruit and a distinct sherry sweetness — a balance that has made Sanaig a fixed point in the distillery's core range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Caramel and honey meet dried fruit and a sweet, coastal peat smoke, with a hint of citrus in the background.
Palate
Round and spiced, with the sherry's sweetness first, followed by a growing wave of smoke and a touch of dark chocolate.
Finish
Medium to long, with lingering smoke and a final, gentle sweetness from the sherry casks.

Ardbeg Supernova SN 2015 Committee Release Single Islay Malt Whisky 54,3%

Item no.: B22227865466-45

Named after a stellar explosion, and just as violent, a whisky that once pushed the limits of how peated an Islay single malt could get.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Supernova SN 2015 Committee Release is an Islay Single Malt Whisky bottled in 2015 at 54.3%.
The Supernova series was Ardbeg's answer to the question of just how peated a single malt could become, and this 2015 release was a Committee Exclusive reserved for the distillery's fan community.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Surprisingly floral, with fresh pine, sweet golden syrup and a hint of medicinal peat carrying a touch of youth without becoming overpowering.
Palate
Smoky, with an abundance of coal dust, more freshly sawn pine, a sweet candy floss note, melted butter and white pepper in an extremely peated whole.
Finish
A lingering dryness coats the tongue, with dusty embers from a bonfire leaving their mark.

Black Bottle New Version Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 22227865397-76

Some whiskies shout to be heard. Then there is Black Bottle, which slips quietly into the room, lays a trail of smoke across the table and lets everyone else wonder where that depth came from.
Expert description
Black Bottle New Version is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.
New Version refers to the relaunch, when the brand returned to black glass, the recipe was tightened and the smoky Islay character was pushed back to the centre. It is a blend where malt and grain work together and where smoke is structural rather than decorative.
The ambition from the start has been to let every Scottish whisky region speak in the same bottle, with Islay as the note that holds it all together. The result is an approachable blend that works as an everyday dram and as a gentle way into smoky whisky.
Tasting notes
Nose
Soft peat smoke settles first, followed by malty sweetness, a brush of vanilla and a light maritime saltiness in the background.
Palate
Round and malty with caramel and honey, seasoned by pepper and a steady, earthy smoke that rolls across the palate without taking over.
Finish
Medium and warm with a gentle ash smoke that fades out alongside a last note of malty sweetness.

Ileach Peaty New version Single Islay Malt Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865464-94

"Ileach" simply means "a person from Islay" in Gaelic, and the name is the whole point: a whisky that isn't meant to represent one particular distillery, but the character of the island itself. Behind it stands a distillery kept deliberately secret, while the peat does all the talking.
The expert's description
Ileach Peaty Single Islay Malt Whisky is a Single Islay Malt Whisky from an unnamed distillery, matured in oak casks and bottled at 40%.
The whisky is bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, an independent bottler founded in 1992 by Brian Crook, who is also behind brands such as Finlaggan and Islay Storm. Which distillery supplies the spirit for Ileach has never been officially confirmed, giving rise to countless guesses among whisky enthusiasts over the years, but without an age statement or a named source, the bottle lives entirely on its own flavour.
The style is classic Islay: robust, peaty and maritime, without sacrificing a certain softness that makes it an easy whisky to return to as an everyday dram.
Tasting notes
Nose
Smoke, ash and a light medicinal note meet sea salt and seaweed, with a touch of soft vanilla in the background.
Palate
Oily and robust, with peat, brine and a hint of citrus that cuts through the heavy smoke.
Finish
Medium length, dry and lightly spiced, with a persistent ashy sensation reminiscent of a beach fire just put out.

Springbank 10 years old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865434-24

Springbank 10 Year Old is the gateway to the distillery's world - the bottle many whisky lovers point to when explaining why Campbeltown deserves its own place on the shelf next to Islay and Speyside.
Expert Description
Springbank 10 Year Old is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 46%.
Springbank 10 Year Old has become increasingly hard to find as the distillery's strict allocations limit how much reaches Danish shelves. The whisky carries all of Springbank's hallmarks: the unique 2.5 times distillation, floor-malted barley and an oily, complex style found nowhere else in Scotland.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Heather honey, ripe pears and pepper blend with a hint of oyster shell and sea air.
Palate
Peaches in syrup meet salty umami notes, light peat smoke and a touch of soot.
Finish
Amber and warm, with a lingering sweetness that slowly gives way to a dry, smoky close.

Kilchoman Machir Bay Single Islay Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865411-50

Machir Bay is the beach right outside the distillery's door — wide, white and forever whipped by the Atlantic. The whisky that carries its name is Kilchoman's public face: fresh, smoky and unmistakably Islay.
Expert's description
Kilchoman Machir Bay is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46 %.
Machir Bay became Kilchoman's standing standard release in 2012 and today represents the house style better than any other bottle. It rests mainly on ex-bourbon casks, with a portion of the casks receiving a finishing period in used sherry casks, giving a balance of citrus freshness, sweetness and spice.
Kilchoman was founded in 2005 as Scotland's only true farm distillery, where barley is grown, floor malted, distilled and bottled in the same place — a philosophy that still runs through even the most accessible release in the range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh citrus notes and sea breeze meet light peat smoke, vanilla and tropical fruit.
Palate
Creamy and balanced, with honeyed sweetness, citrus and butterscotch, spiced by undertones from the sherry casks.
Finish
Medium to long, with lingering smoke, salted caramel and a dry, pleasant close.

Talisker STORM OLD VERSION Single Malt Whisky Skye 45,8%

Item no.: 22227865404-6

The name Storm was not chosen at random. Skye takes a battering from westerly wind and rain for much of the year, and this particular bottle still carries the older label from when it first landed on Danish shelves.
Note: This bottle carries an older label version of Talisker Storm, from before the current design was introduced.
Expert Description
Talisker Storm is a no-age-statement Isle of Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in selected refill and toasted American oak casks and bottled at 45.8%. It was developed as a bolder, more maritime sibling to the 10 Year Old.
This particular bottle carries the older label, but the liquid inside is identical to the Storm sold today - a whisky built to weather both salt water and rough weather, figuratively speaking.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers salt, lime and orange peel with a fresh fruitiness, and the smoke sits as a quiet background note rather than up front.
Palate
The palate carries notes of spice and cream toffee, while the smoke stays discreet in the background and lets the sweetness speak first.
Finish
The finish is medium length with a warm, lightly salty close and a trace of smoke drifting quietly away.

Black Bottle 10 years old Blended Scotch Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865397-12

Some bottles become interesting because they disappeared. This version of Black Bottle 10 Years was pulled from the shelves when the brand changed its clothes — and only afterwards did people realise what they had been keeping.
Expert description
Black Bottle 10 Years Old Version is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.
Old Version refers to the bottle shape and label used before the brand relaunch. Both the packaging and the age statement have been retired, and the whisky is no longer produced in this form. The blend is built on Islay malt as its load-bearing element, joined by malt from the rest of Scotland and grain whisky.
The colour is rich and golden, and the profile leans on peat smoke and honey rather than cask spice. Ten years give the blend the roundness that keeps the smoke from ever standing alone.
Tasting notes
Nose
Light, fresh and fruity on first approach, with unmistakable hints of peat underneath. Baked apple and a waxy grain note follow.
Palate
A gentle honey sweetness fills the palate before the signature smoke settles over everything. Malt, dried fruit and a touch of peppery warmth.
Finish
Long and warming with a clear smoked Islay character that stays put well after the sip has gone.

Item no.: 22227865466-21

Named after one of the world's most notorious whirlpools, and just as violent and untamed in the glass as the current is at the coast.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Corryvreckan is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in French oak and ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 57.1%.
The name comes from the Corryvreckan whirlpool north of Islay, a natural phenomenon that mirrors the whisky's raw power. It's neither chill filtered nor coloured, letting the full cask strength show through from the first sip to the last.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Bold black coffee meets dense, rich dark chocolate tones, with sweet autumn fruit like blackcurrant and cherry in the background.
Palate
Elegant, softly spiced oak ties it all together with heavy peat and a touch of salt that bites gently on the tongue.

Ardmore Traditional Cask Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865449-38

A quarter cask holds around 125 litres, a quarter of a sherry butt. A smaller cask means more wood contact per drop, and the whisky matures faster. In the nineteenth century it was the standard size, because casks had to be carried on horseback.
The Expert's Description
Ardmore Traditional Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in traditional oak casks and finished in Quarter Casks, bottled at 46%. It is the distillery’s own release and one of the few official Ardmore bottles on the market.
Ardmore is one of the few Highland distilleries where peat smoke is the core style rather than a side project. The smoke comes from peat burned during the malting of the barley, and because the peat is from inland Aberdeenshire it reads dry and earthy rather than maritime.
The finish in small hand-made quarter casks adds depth and a softness that large casks cannot deliver in the same time. The whisky is bottled at 46% and without chill filtration, which preserves body and mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft and spiced. Peat smoke first, then vanilla and a light sweetness of seaweed and ripe fruit. There is a creamy thread through it all that is the distillery’s signature.
Palate
Creamy and full. Peat, vanilla and sweet fruit open, then a spiced warmth arrives from the quarter cask finish. At 46% the body is good, and the smoke sits as a warm floor rather than a point.
Finish
Medium length. Peat, malt and a lightly spiced oak note that lets go softly.

Ardmore was founded in 1898 by Adam Teacher to secure malt for the family blend, Teacher's Highland Cream. For more than a century the distillery was largely invisible to consumers, because nearly all its output went straight into blends. Official bottlings under its own name are therefore a relatively recent thing.

The ultimate distillation of Islay — four distilleries in one bottle.
Expert description
Big Peat Douglas Laing Blended Islay Malt Whisky is the series' core expression, a blend of single malt whisky from several Islay distilleries, bottled at 46%. Big Peat was launched in 2009 by independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co as the first in the company's 'Remarkable Regional Malts' series.

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.

Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Islay Malt Whisky 54,2%

Item no.: 22227865466-10

Named after the loch the distillery draws its water from, and just as dark and pulling as the name suggests.
Expert Review
Ardbeg Uigeadail is an Islay Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 54.2%.
The name is pronounced "Oog-a-dal" and comes from the loch where Ardbeg draws its water, a direct nod to the island's rugged nature. The whisky is non-chill filtered and unadulterated with colour, preserving the full depth from both the bourbon and sherry casks.
Uigeadail has won several international awards and is regarded by many as one of the most complete releases in Ardbeg's range, precisely because it unites the distillery's peat smoke with a deep sherry sweetness without losing balance.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Tar, burnt wood and maritime notes meet dried fruit, honey and warm spice from the sherry casks.
Palate
Bold and complex, where smoky tar, burnt sugar and dark chocolate play alongside raisins and spice.
Finish
Long and warm, with a deep and satisfying finish that ties smoke and sweetness together.
