DOUGLAS LAING BIG PEAT 2019 CHRISTMAS EDITION BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY 700ML BOXED

Nose evokes standing on a Scottish beach on bonfire night with salted caramel toffee. Stewed stone fruits on the palate that gives way to salted toffee lashings of smoke and earthy characteristics. Smouldering wood finish with spice and sea spray.
