Celebrate the spirit of unity, smoke, and strength with the Big Peat Chinese New Year Edition — a limited-edition Islay blended malt whisky that captures the bold personality of Scotland’s west coast in every sip. Created by Douglas Laing & Co., this annual release pays tribute to the Lunar New Year with vibrant packaging, collectible design, and the unmistakable smoky character that has made Big Peat a cult favourite among whisky lovers worldwide.

Distilled, blended, and bottled on Islay, Big Peat brings together single malts from iconic distilleries such as Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, and Port Ellen — an exceptional combination that delivers both power and harmony. On the nose, waves of sea salt, bonfire smoke, and smoked bacon rise above hints of lemon zest and malt sweetness. The palate explodes with classic Islay intensity: peat smoke, ash, and charcoal balanced by toffee, vanilla, and gentle citrus. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering kiss of maritime peat and spice.

Specially designed for the festive season, the Chinese New Year Edition features striking red-and-gold artwork symbolizing prosperity, luck, and togetherness — a perfect blend of Islay heritage and Eastern celebration. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, this limited release retains its full-bodied texture and natural complexity, making it ideal for collectors and peat enthusiasts alike. Each bottle represents not just a whisky, but a shared celebration of smoke and spirit across cultures.

Big Peat Chinese New Year Edition is more than a whisky — it’s an invitation to raise a glass to friendship, fortune, and flavour. Perfect for festive gatherings or thoughtful gifting, it embodies the strength of tradition and the warmth of celebration — Islay style.
