Big Peat Fèis Ìle 2024 -- Big Peat The Thropaigeach Edition

2024 年艾雷島威士忌節（Fèis Ìle 2024）限定酒款：「Big Peat The Thropaigeach Edition」。此款全球限量版以 48% ABV 裝瓶，特別採用精選Rum酒桶完成過桶，為經典 Big Peat 帶來極具熱帶風情的全新演繹。

在這次獨特桶型的加持下，Big Peat 愛好者可期待一款香氣由厚重泥煤主導的威士忌，層次綿延。入口先是溫暖辛香，繼而展現黏稠而飽滿的酒體，帶出炙燒香蕉與燒烤肉類的風味，收結則以炭烤鳳梨作結，創造出真正熱帶風格的 Big Peat，向這座象徵威士忌的經典島嶼——艾雷島——致敬。

此限量版採專屬絲網印刷瓶身設計，並以「只限單瓶販售」形式推出。視覺主題呼應加勒比海Rum酒桶的設定，將 Big Peat 化身為海盜形象，搭配滿溢熱帶氣息的元素：棕櫚樹、鸚鵡與刀劍等圖像。整體配色一改以往風格，以亮黃色瓶封與設計細節貫穿全瓶，帶來鮮明而醒目的全新樣貌。

Fèis Ìle（艾雷島威士忌節）是一年一度的盛會，匯聚來自世界各地的威士忌愛好者齊集艾雷島，共同慶祝當地酒廠出品以及島上的獨特文化。節日期間活動豐富，包括各大酒廠開放日、專業品飲與體驗活動、限定酒款發布、本地特色美食、現場音樂表演等，全面展現「艾雷之島」的迷人魅力。

對於是次特別版裝瓶，Big Peat 品牌經理 Chloe Wood 表示：「Big Peat 的粉絲將有機會在 The Thropaigeach Edition 當中，品嚐到一種截然不同風格的 Big Peat。這仍然是熟悉的 Big Peat，但在果香與柑橘調性上更加突出與進階。透過加勒比海Rum酒桶的後期熟成，為這款本就兼具煙燻與甜美特質的艾雷島威士忌增添了更多層次感。作為一款熱帶主題的 Big Peat，以 Fèis Ìle 期間在艾雷島推出，可說是再適合不過的時機。The Thropaigeach Edition 已整裝待發，準備迎接所有參與節慶的訪客，成為你在節日期間乃至其後，都能細細品味的一杯佳釀。」

Fèis Ìle 2024: Big Peat The Thropaigeach Edition!

Offered at an alcohol strength of 48% ABV, this Global Limited Edition has been finished in specially selected Rum casks to produce a powerful tropical-themed release of our classic Big Peat.

A unique cask finish, fans of Big Peat can expect a profile that is dominated by peated malt on the nose, before offering a warming spice, leading into a viscous palate driven by flambéed banana and barbequed meats alongside a charred pineapple finish; a truly tropical release of Big Peat in celebration of the iconic Whisky Island of Islay.

This Limited Edition of Scotch Whisky has a unique, screen-printed design and has been selected as a bottle-only release. The design features Big Peat in pirate-form following the theme centred around the use of Caribbean Rum casks. Big Peat fans can expect a new style of the well-known character featured alongside all things tropical: palm trees, parrots, and swords! A distinctly different colourway leads this release, bringing a bright yellow capsule and design elements throughout.

Fèis Ìle – The Islay Festival – is an annual celebration which brings together whisky fans from all around the world to the Island of Islay to celebrate both the whisky produced on the island and the culture. The festival, which is ever-growing in popularity, puts on a host of distillery open days, numerous tasting and experiences, unique bottle releases, local foods, live music and more. All of which are a true celebration of all things Islay.

Commenting on the special edition bottling, Chloe Wood, Big Peat’s Brand Manager, said:

“Big Peat fans have the chance to taste a new style of Big Peat in The Thropaigeach Edition. This is Big Peat but with an advanced fruity and citrus-driven tasting experience.

Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks, this additional maturation style adds an extra level of complexity to the already smoky-sweet spirit of Islay. Being a tropical-themed release of Big Peat, it feels apt to be releasing this at Fèis Ìle on the Island of Islay and the perfect time to try The Thropaigeach Edition. Ready to be released to all Fèis attendees, The Thropaigeach Edition is the perfect dram to enjoy across the festival celebrations and beyond!”
