Product description
Douglas Laing & Co. was owned for over 40 years by brothers Fred and Stewart Laing. In 2013, the brothers split its assets and started their own business.
The Provenance series has remained in the Douglas Laing & Co. portfolio, now owned by Fred. Early 2015 brought a change in design – while the previous presentation referred to the season, the current one emphasises the region in which the distillery is based. The Blair Athol presented here, distilled July 2007, spent over 12 years in a refill sherry butt (DL 13537). Bottled in August 2019 without added colouring and without chill filtration in an edition of 439 bottles.
Aroma : honey, brown sugar, breakfast cereals, walnuts, vanilla, marzipan, apples, nectarines, a bit of cinnamon and cloves.
Palate : delicate notes of sherry, vanilla, honeyed nuts, plums, dried figs, ginger cookies, cinnamon, a touch of licorice and oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of breakfast cereal, roasted nuts, milk chocolate, allspice, cinnamon and oak.
