It's time to do an 8 part on the different series from Glasgow indie bottler Douglas Laing.
They do different series of bottlings and the ones that I'll be reviewing here are:
Old Malt Cask, Douglas McGibbon Provenance, Premier Barrel and Hunter Hamilton Clan Denny
Besides those they do a couple of undisclosed malts like 'Big Peat' and and a series called 'Double Barrel' and of course their ultra premium range 'Old & Rare Platinum' and 'Director's Cut'...and even mentioning these, I've forgotten some.
You can read more about Douglas Laing here and of course find their complete brands list there, too.
First one up in this review series is bottling of the highland distillery, Aberfeldy, usually associated with Dewar's...
Aberfeldy 1994 16yo 50% xx.06.1994/xx.12.2010, refill hogshead#6844, 350
bottles, Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask
Pale straw in
colour
Nose:
Fresh cut grass, lemons, hints of malt and
mash
Taste:
Very nice arrival on white tinned fruits, some
oak spices and an oily feel to it, without it sticking to your mouth, very fresh
and satisfying.
A very pleasant surprise, this one!
87/100!
