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).
It soon arrived in Europe, where it is still considered the most prestigious among independent publishers. In 2013, after 40 years of success, the Laing brothers divided the assets of the family company and decided to 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 Dufftown presented here, distilled in November 1991, spent over three decades in a bourbon barrel. In May 2022, its contents translated into 247 bottles of cask strength whisky (46.7% abv).
