Review by Douglas Laing

Tasting note

Anticipate citrus fruits as it opens on the nose; really fresh and clean, then later runny caramel. The sweet leather palate develops to a gristy sweetness with ripe, green apples, running to a finish that is long with lemons, grapefruit and freshly cut grass.

Note

Douglas Laing's "Old Particular" is a particularly unique series of individually hand-selected aged Single Cask Malts' and Single Cask Single Grains from all over Scotland. Each is bottled exactly the way the distiller intended: Without colouring, or chill-filtration. This expression from the Linkwood distillery, was distilled in 1997 and bottled after 17 long years spent maturing in a refill Hogshead. It is one of only 401 bottles produced.
