Product description
The Old & Rare Platinum Selection series debuted in 2002 in the Douglas Laing & Co. offering (the first editions were bottled for the Japanese market).
The series soon arrived in Europe, where it is still considered the most prestigious offering from independent publishers. In 2013, after 40 years of success, the Laing brothers decided to split the assets of the family company and operate separately. The Old & Rare series currently belongs to Hunter Laing & Co., founded and managed by Stewart Laing, and has lost none of its appeal. The Glenturret presented here, distilled in September 1990, spent over three decades in a refilled hogshead. In May 2022, its contents translated into 432 bottles of cask strength whisky (41.4% abv).
