Linkwood 8-year-old (D.2012, B.2021) Douglas Laing's Provenance / 46%/ 0.7l
- Douglas Laing & Co., an independent bottling company, used to be run by two Laing brothers, Fred and Stewart.
Product description
Douglas Laing & Co. was owned for over 40 years by brothers Fred and Stewart Laing.
In 2013, the brothers divided its assets and went into business for themselves. The Provenance series remained in the Douglas Laing & Co. portfolio, now owned by Fred. Early 2015 brought a change in the graphic design – while the previous presentation referred to the season of distillation and bottling, the current one emphasizes the region in which the distillery is based. The Linkwood shown here, distilled September 2012, spent over 8 years in a refill hogshead (DL 14666). Bottled in March 2021 without added coloring and without chill filtration in an edition of 419 bottles.
Nose : malted barley, vanilla, sugar cookies, baked apples, roasted peanuts, a hint of cinnamon and oak chips.
Palate : sweet breakfast cereals, bananas, orange peel, apples, vanilla, brown sugar, biscuits and toasted oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of malted barley, caramel, toffee, vanilla, apples and oak.
