The Douglas Laing BIG PEAT Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish Féis Ìle 2026 is a limited special edition of the famous Islay blended malt Scotch whisky from Douglas Laing. This special bottling was created to mark the famous Fèis Ìle – The Islay Festival of Music & Malt 2026 and also celebrates the 40th anniversary of the festival, which attracts whisky fans from all over the world to the Scottish island of Islay every year.
It is based on the characteristic BIG PEAT blended malt, which is created from a classic blend of several Islay single malts from renowned distilleries on the island. For this special edition, the whisky is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, combining the intense Islay peat smokiness with a rich sweetness and deep fruity notes. The result is a particularly expressive Islay whisky that combines smoke, sherry flavours and maritime influences in a harmonious balance.
This small batch bottling is bottled at natural cask strength at 52.6% vol. and is non-chill-filtered and colourless, fully preserving the authentic character of this Islay blended malt Scotch whisky. The Big Peat Fèis Ìle 2026 Limited Edition Whisky is presented in a high-quality gift box (UK) and is a special collector’s bottling for connoisseurs of strong, smoky Islay whiskies.

The Douglas Laing Big Peat Fèis Ìle 2026 Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish unfolds its complex flavours particularly well on its own or with a few drops of water, which makes the balance of sherry sweetness and strong Islay smoke even more intense. This smoky Islay blended malt whisky is an excellent culinary accompaniment to smoked meat, BBQ dishes, strong hard cheese or roasted nuts. It also harmonises perfectly with dark chocolate, chocolate desserts or dates, which brings out the sweet and smoky flavours of this Big Peat Limited Edition whisky in a particularly impressive way.
