Big Peat 12-year-old DL Small Batch — торфяной, дымный и солёный виски с морскими и минеральными нотами, часто сравниваемый с Ardbeg 10. Отзывы в целом положительные, но отмечают короткий и горьковатый финиш.
развернуть подробно
Нос в отзывах описывается как дымный и торфяной, с влажным мхом, солёностью, морским воздухом, минеральными и йодистыми нотами, а также с оттенками ванильного крема, цитрусовых (лимон, грейпфрутовая корка), жжёной карамели и лесных ароматов. Несколько отзывов отдельно выделяют пепельные, ашистые и известняково-гипсовые тона, а также ноты фенхеля, кожи и лекарственных оттенков. Во вкусе доминируют торф и дым, к которым добавляются цитрусовые, ваниль, специи, перец, орехи, жжёная карамель, солёность и минеральность; часть отзывов упоминает обугленный тост, уголь и древесную горечь, а также лёгкую водянистость и разбавленность при долгом стоянии в бокале. Финиш чаще описывается как средне-короткий или короткий, согревающий, солёный, дымный и пепельный, с древесной и горьковатой составляющей, иногда с травянистыми и ментоловыми нотами.
Среди отзывов есть прямые сравнения с Ardbeg 10 — по вкусу виски называют близким к нему, но более дешёвым и более гладким, чем Rock Island 10. Отмечается также более сильное влияние дуба по сравнению с базовой версией без возрастной маркировки, что считается уместным для 12-летнего виски. Общая тональность отзывов — положительная: его называют сложной торфяной «бомбой», щедрым и хорошо сбалансированным, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества, хотя некоторые указывают на короткий финиш, горечь и отсутствие острого желания покупать после дегустации.

Close to Ardbeg 10 taste-wise, but way cheaper. This is a banger. I got it for 899 CZK, while Ardbeg 10 is from 1125 CZK. Way smoother than Rock Island 10. I taste the caraway in it. Similarly to Ardbeg 10. In my book Ardbeg 10 is still a bit better. But not good enough to justify its way higher price. It is a dark time for peat lovers. But Big Peat 12 along with Talisker 10 and Connemara Peated are the current trio, where I think, that we are getting enough dram for the price.
KYIV WHISKY FESTIVAL 2024 21 21 20 21 83 The nose is signature, but the taste did not spare the charring of the barrel wood, so much coal!
It is very similar to ardbeg 10.

Meringue Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts is an award-winning series of 6 releases representing the six different regions. The Epicurean for the Lowlands, Scallywag for Speyside, Timorous Beastie for the Highlands, The Gauldrons for Campbeltown, Rock Island for the Islands and finally Big Peat for Islay. Let me list them all for you. In the glass is the Big Peat 12 Year Old, a blended malt composed of twelve year old whisky from the Isle of Islay. It is one of the many variations of the bestseller of the Remarkable Regional Malts. Pine Cones is a smoldering peat fire, with a clove-pierced lemon smoldering in it… that’s the nose in a nutshell and I love it! Nougat, meringue (!) and grape sugar… This is a very different Big Peat than anything I’ve smelled before, I have to say. What a pleasant surprise. On the palate it is a feast. Earthy, peaty, smoky on white fruit, almonds, again meringue (where does that come from?) and a rubber (without disturbing), followed by a nice touch of salt and pepper. Maritime squared. Fantastic and in all honesty better than many Islay single malts. Delicious long finish where the middle is sought (and found!) between sweet and salty. And that with a big smoky twist. The fact that you can put this in your cabinet for about 60 EUR is reason enough to order it right now. What a whopper!

It is a fabulous complex peat bomb, rich on nose, smooth but strong in mouth. Absolutely fantastic drum.
It seems a bit more mature and sedate than its "Edition" brothers and yet its fresh notes and the quite powerful smoke give it youthfulness. A mixture that I personally like a lot. Similar to the Orange Edition, the aromas are not excessive and go well together. A lovely Islay smoker.

A pleasant whiskey but very strong on salty and brackish notes

A puff of icing sugar, vanilla cream, then the smoke appears, very ashy (hello Caol Ila), accompanied by a thick and violent peat (hello, Ardbeg!). It is limestone in the background, iodized, even mineral, gypsum, granite, salt chips. On the palate, vanilla is very present, with a whole theory of white fruits, plums, grapes, pears, lychees. The peat gets dirtier, deeper, muddy (is that you, Lagavulin?). with some smoky reflections, fuel oil, motor oil (I think we know each other, Laphroaig). Finally, it is slightly honeyed, leading to a fairly long finish, on peach and lignite, stony. A stream running between the pebbles. Finally, damp undergrowth, ferns, fresh forest (you've been waiting, Bowmore). I think it's well balanced, the right maturation for sure, and better barrels, but also maybe the influence of the two additional distilleries. It is really good. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/12/big-peat-12-yo.html

A classic smoky malt with the characteristic characteristics of Islay whisky. Unlike the basic version without an age statement, this one has a much stronger oak influence, which is quite fitting for a 12-year-old whisky.

For a 12 year old blend, I think the price-performance ratio is quite good. But I don't feel an acute impulse to buy after enjoying the sample.

| Нос | 84 | Biting campfire smoke. Light, sweet and tart fruit, finished off with tart notes. |
| Вкус | 85 | Slightly watery approach, then the spice builds up, a bit tingly, smoke fills the mouth and becomes drying. Finally, intense fruity sweetness breaks through. |
| Финиш | 85 | Drying. Pleasant bitterness stays medium and ends with sweetness. |
