Big Smoke Heavily Peated Blended Scotch Whisky

Sitting by the sea with a peat bonfire burning — the perfect mix of land, sea, and the islands of western Scotland. That's the experience Big Smoke is built around.

Big Smoke is a heavily peated blended Scotch whisky from Duncan Taylor, bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration for maximum character. It delivers the intensity of an Islay-style peated malt at a price that makes it an everyday dram — bold, maritime, and unapologetically smoky.

If you love peated whisky, this belongs in your cabinet.

Tasting Notes

Color: Light gold

Nose: Perfumed and smoky, balanced with a crème brûlée sweetness. Leafy, sweet wood, summer fruits, and herbal notes.

Palate: Intense, prickly, bonfire ashes, sweet subtle spearmint, smoked toffee apple.

Finish: Fresh, intense, long lasting, evocative.

How to Drink It

Neat: The recommended way — the peat and maritime character is best experienced undiluted.

With Water: A splash softens the smoke and brings the crème brûlée sweetness forward.

In Cocktails: The smoked toffee apple and spearmint profile makes a striking base for a Penicillin or a smoky Highball.
