Douglas Laing turned 75 in 2023 and firstly, huge congrats on that. Secondly, hooray for that, because that means the bottler is releasing all kinds of super limited-editions to mark the occasion. King of Scots 50 Years Old is one of those jewels in a considerable crown, an old and rare blend that honours three generations of the family-owned company and the brand that started it all Fred Douglas Laing back in 1948.
On the nose detect juicy apricots, orchard fruits, and a rich, cereal sweetness.
The palate reveals custard cream, honeyed malt, and dried fruit style.
The finish lingers on and on with charred oak, vanilla pods, and toffee apples.
The quality of this 50 year old Blended Scotch is exquisite and the price tag is so bl00dy reasonable. Get it back in stock Master of Malt - I need bottle # 2!
