Big Peat Feis Thropaigeach Edition – Fèis Ìle 2024 is a limited-edition, collector’s Scotch whisky from Douglas Laing & Co., created to celebrate the iconic Islay Festival of Malt and Music (Fèis Ìle). Part of the legendary Big Peat series, this tropical-themed edition delivers bold Islay peat, coastal salinity, and rich malt complexity, all bottled in a vibrant, festival-inspired presentation.
This expression is a blended malt Scotch whisky, exclusively crafted from single malts sourced from Islay distilleries such as Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Port Askaig. By blending mature single malts, it combines smoky intensity, maritime character, and rich malt sweetness in a way that is both approachable and collector-worthy.
On the nose, the whisky bursts with peat smoke, seaweed, tropical fruits, citrus zest, and hints of honeyed malt. The palate is layered, smooth, and expressive, offering flavours of toasted barley, dark chocolate, vanilla, tropical fruit notes, and coastal brine, culminating in a long, warming, smoky finish.
As a Fèis Ìle 2024 edition, this release captures the spirit of celebration, music, and Islay culture, making it a must-have for festival attendees, collectors, and Islay whisky enthusiasts worldwide. It is ideal for holiday gifting, tasting sessions, or adding to a curated Islay whisky collection.
