Portrait: What makes the Big Peat 10 year old - Winter Edition 2026 special

Winter has many faces: short days, long evenings, thick sweaters—and a certain gentleman named Big Peat, who makes his grand return just in time for the cold season.

For many years, Big Peat has been a staple of Douglas Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts range. This series celebrates Scotland’s distinctive whisky regions—with Big Peat taking on the role of representing Islay.
In other words: If the Scottish island needed a particularly distinctive ambassador, Big Peat would likely have hopped on a plane long ago.

The Big Peat Winter Edition made its debut in 2025, replacing the popular Christmas Edition. Now, in 2026, it returns for a second round—and this time, Big Peat even comes with an age statement. A full 10 years appear on the label. That allows him to feel a bit more grown-up, even though he naturally remains Big Peat.

But that’s not all: this Islay Blended Malt also received a 16-month finish in French red wine casks. Don’t worry, Big Peat stays true to himself: a whisky from the Scottish island of Islay, crafted as a blend of various Islay single malts—even Port Ellen is included.

The limited Winter Edition is bottled without coloring and without chill-filtration. It also comes in a matching gift box—after all, Big Peat looks great on your whisky shelf in winter, but it’s also perfect for sitting under the Christmas tree.

And for those wondering if there will be a Christmas Edition again this year: It is indeed returning in 2026—though for the first time, exclusively for Germany.

In short: The Big Peat Winter Edition 2026 combines 10-year-old Islay malt, a 16-month finish in French red wine casks, and plenty of winter spirit. A limited-edition seasonal guest that has evidently decided Christmas can last a little longer.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Big Peat 10 year old - Winter Edition 2026 tastes like

  • Nose: Maritime peat smoke meets sweet malt and dark forest fruits. Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and a pleasant spicy warmth join in. Polished oak and subtle hints of salted caramel emerge in the background.
  • Palate: A bold and complex opening featuring black cherry and ripe plum. Sweet notes of vanilla and butterscotch blend with salted caramel and dark chocolate. The experience is accompanied by warming spices and the characteristic maritime peat-smoke note.
  • Finish: Long and enduring. Baking spices and dry peat smoke remain present, providing a distinctive conclusion. Notes of dark fruit and spicy wood slowly fade away—a finale that truly takes its time.
