17297
A stately old grain whisky from Douglas Laing’s Xtra Old Particular series, drawn from a single refill barrel (cask 17297) laid down back in 1987. After 35 years of maturation, it’s developed layers of creamy vanilla, buttery pastry, and gentle nutty sweetness. A beautiful reminder of just how elegant mature grain whisky can be.
Vanilla custard and coconut cream, followed by buttered brioche, poached pear, and a soft dusting of icing sugar.
Smooth and mellow with white chocolate, macadamia, and almond flake, balanced by ripe peach and tinned lychee. A faint grassy freshness keeps things lively.
Long, creamy, and gently sweet with vanilla fudge, light oak spice, and a final hint of sugared cashew.
