The Big Smoke is a blended Islay malt whisky. Bottled
relatively young, its characteristics are reminiscent of
traditional Islay malt – full of peat smoke coastal sweetness.
Powerful yet caressing, the Big Smoke is bottled
at 46% and 60% ABV, and contains the likes of
some of the most iconic Islay malt distilleries.
The Big Smoke delivers a bold and powerful sensory
experience to the seasoned Islay fanatics, with a
multi-dimensional sweetness that allows it to be
enjoyed by connoisseurs of smoother Speyside and
Campbeltown malts.
