Particularly old single grain from Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular range! This one was distilled by Port Dundas (now sadly closed) back in January 1978 and aged in a refill hogshead for 43 years. After that, it was bottled up at cask strength with an outturn of only 148 bottles.
Anticipate treacle, juicy cranberries, cinnamon and sweet cereal on the nose.
The palate bursts with rich cocoa, charred oak and an allspice warming kick.
The finish lingers wonderfully with more spice, a touch of butterscotch and crunchy biscuits.
