Well, what do we have here? It's a Douglas Laing bottling, distilled at... Probably Speyside's Finest Distillery? We'll have to leave that up to you to decide! On a less cryptic note, we do know that this whisky was aged for 50 years in a refill sherry butt. In August 2018, that cask yielded 248 bottles, which were bottled at 52.5% ABV by Douglas Laing for the Xtra Old Particular series.
The nose carries a big sherry sweetness, then comes chocolate orange, stewed dark fruits (plums and cherries) and chewed leather.
Delicious zest orange and the palate, with fruitcake and cocoa developing to winter spice and smoky espresso.
The finish is lingering with peppery chocolate, malted barley, ginger and treacle toffee.
