Big Peat Fèis Ìle - 2026 Ximénez Sherry Casks is a cask strength blended malt style whisky built around Islay’s smoky character, with added richness from Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. For a new drinker, that usually means a fuller, more intense style combining peat smoke with sweeter dried-fruit notes.
At 52.6% ABV, it is likely to feel bold and concentrated. A small splash of water may help soften the alcohol and open up the smoky, sweet profile.
