A Speyside heavy weight, Craigellachie brings us a meaty character with plenty of grunt. Distilled in 1995, this Craigellachie from Douglas Laing was matured in a refill sherry butt for 25 years and bottled at a natural cask strength of 53.7%. Freshly warmed pecans covered in golden syrup open on the nose, followed by waxy lemons, green olives and home baking. The palate is heavy, a harmony of sweet and savoury. New leather with shavings of fresh oak, sticky toffee apples, berries, and engine oil. The finish is long and sweet, reminiscent of circus candyfloss and rich crème brulee. A fantastic addition to the 'Xtra Old Particular' range.

This expression from the Double Barrel range from Douglas Laing is a marriage of Single Malts from the Highland and Islay regions of Scotland.

There is a soft smoked characteristic on the nose, alongside notes of fresh toast and drizzly honey. The palate consists of dry ember smoke and sweet notes of malty biscuits. There is a lovely long finish, lingering with notes of roasted nuts and sweet marzipan icing.

The new Double Barrel bottlings from Douglas Laing are wonderful marriages of two distinctly different styles of Single Malts. This expression contains single malts from the Lowland and Speyside regions. The result is a wonderfully balanced whisky, with soft fruit notes and sweet malty character. The palate is soft and fruit forward, with elements of honey and vanilla sweetness also.

A careful selection of Single Malt whiskies produced on some of the Island's of Scotland, including Islay, Arran, Jura and Orkney. There is a subtle smoky and sweet character to the whisky, with fruity tones offset by the distant tang of sea-spray.

The Epicurean is a blended malt comprised solely of lowland single malts from famed Scottish independent bottlers Douglas Laing & Co. This is a classic Lowland aroma and taste - sweet and rich with barley, tangy citrus and floral/herbal notes throughout. The twangy citrus and smooth candied sweet notes play off each other wonderfully, making this a very drinkable dram all round.
