A blend of whisky distilled at Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila and the famed Port Ellen Distillery, this limited edition, cask strength bottling of Scotch was named Whisky Advocate's Blended Malt Scotch Whisky of the Year in 2013.,,As a result of the blend of these whiskies, The Big Peat Christmas Edition has an array of flavors that are unique to Islay. It has a salty aroma, with touches of cinnamon, ginger, pears and lemon. The aroma gives way to bold notes of smoky peat, dried tobacco, chewy leather and sweet fruits on the palate, and leads to a long, peaty finish.
