Single Malt Whisky, Scotland/Highlands

Part of Douglas Laing’s Old Particular range, this Ledaig 12-year-old is a Highland Single Malt distilled in November 2011. Limited to 835 bottles, this 48.4% Single Cask is bottled without coloring or chill-filtration. From the far corners of Scotland come the Single Malts and Single Grains of Old Particular — a collection defined by rarity, character, and authenticity. Each cask is individually selected, chosen for the distinct story it tells through aroma, texture, and flavour. Bottled exactly as the Distiller intended — without colouring, without chill-filtration, and at natural high strength — every expression preserves the rich oils and enzymes that shape a whisky’s true soul. Limited by nature and unrepeatable by design, these single casks offer a glimpse into the purest form of Scotch Whisky artistry.

Nose : Totally replete with coal dust, oily ferry engine room and beachy, seaweed aromas.

Palate : Opens on a dulcet style, warming to damp bonfire ash, sweet summer tar and soot.

Overall : Catch early smoked, peated barley, with burnt toast and a late drift of sea smoke.
