I recently paid a wee visit to the team at Douglas Laing<\/a> HQ and had the pleasure\/privilege to dive into some of their finest expressions while listening to the stories of their passionate ambassador Jan Beckers (pssst! Follow him here<\/a> & here<\/a> for all things Douglas Laing!)<\/em> – comfortably seated in their beautifully-decorated Sample Room (which kind of reminded me of Cragganmore’s Club Room & The Family Room at Glenfiddich Distillery… Got this same “stuck in time, very Scottish, mysterious & Chesterfield-sofa-fuelled” atmosphere that makes me feel like throwing a whisky-themed murder party… Please don’t judge me.)<\/em><\/p>\n

My personal highlights of this tasting session include the\u00a0Old Particular – Strathclyde Single Grain 10 years old<\/a> & Old Particular Cameronbridge Single Grain 24 years old<\/a> (Don’t you notice a grain pattern here? Don’t know why but I’m kind of really attracted to single grain whiskies at the moment and those two quite fitted my “grainy mood”)<\/em>. A particular thumbs-up should go to the Strathclyde 10<\/a>, finished in sherry casks, boasting a richer and more complex profile with delightful creamy notes of toffee and chocolate *still drooling while writing those lines* – <\/em>and for a retail price of around 45\/50\u00a3 a bottle, I couldn’t recommend it enough! Better put your hands on one of those bottles<\/a> while it’s still available!<\/p>\n

You should be used to it by now, my pieces rarely come without personal pictures:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
