Big Peat is a clear winner at this price point with a pedigree like that, albeit not as aggressive as the name might imply. won the World Whisky Awards’ top honor in its category in 2010. Big Peat is known for its bold and robust flavor, characteristic of Islay whiskies. Tasting notes often include intense peat smoke, maritime brine, medicinal notes, and hints of ash and tar, balanced with sweeter notes of vanilla and malt.
