Big Peat Blended Malt Whisky

I love the Big Peat releases. They are fun, original and most importantly, delicious. This week I am looking at the Big Peat that started it all. The Big Peat blended malt Scotch whisky, the original Ileac fisherman.

Today I look at the Bell’s Special Reserve blended malt Scotch whisky. One of my favourite whiskies during my student days was Bell’s whisky. It was a bit more upmarket than the cheap nasty bottles with “whiskey” printed on it. Best of all, it was affordable and accessible. We spent many a night solving world problems around a bottle of Bell’s.

A whisky I have written about before in a twitter tasting, but I think it deserves its own blog post. The Douglas Laing’s Rock Oyster blended malt Scotch whisky is a firm favourite. Rock Oyster was released in 2015 as a blend of single malts from Scottish islands, including Orkney, Arran, Jura and Islay.

I have been looking through my whisky cupboard, trying to find something new to drink, a dram standing around too long that needs some attention. Something interesting for me to write about. I am a huge Wemyss Malts fan, so let’s explore the Peat Chimney blended malt whisky today.

Today I look at a blended malt from the Douglas Laing stable, the Timorous Beastie 18 year old whisky. The original Beastie was immortalized in Robert Burns’ famous Scots poem “To a Mouse” and was a timid, little field mouse.

Last week I bought a bottle of Clan Denny Islay whisky. In my ongoing search for affordable and delicious bends, I have tasted some rather “interesting” blends and I have tried some excellent blends.
