Douglas Laing Big Peat Cask Strength Prohibition Edition Scotch Whisky
Douglas Laing Big Peat Cask Strength Prohibition Edition is the natural cask strength presentation of the award-winning Big Peat Islay blended malt — from independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co., combining spirit from Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Port Ellen (the legendary ghost distillery) in an Islay single malt blended malt, bottled undiluted at cask strength, non-chill filtered and with no added colour.
The Prohibition Edition name references the higher-proof heritage, presenting the full cask strength character without the dilution of the standard 46% Big Peat. All four Islay distilleries contribute their characteristic peat smoke styles to the blend: Ardbeg’s medicinal and complex peat, Bowmore’s peach and dark chocolate peat, Caol Ila’s lighter and maritime peat, and the legendary ghost distillery Port Ellen’s profound and complex coastal peat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Port Ellen in the blend so significant?
Port Ellen Distillery on Islay closed in 1983 and its remaining casks are a finite ghost distillery resource. Port Ellen is considered one of the most complex and profound Islay whiskies, with an earthy, coastal, and intensely smoky character unlike any other Islay distillery. Its inclusion makes Big Peat increasingly rare and valuable. Limited allocation. Order online.
