Established in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, Douglas Laing & Co. is today now in its third generation. To this end, the “creative concept behind these luxury sets centres around the theme of ‘The Diamond Year’ – boasting extremely rare spirit, proudly regarded as Douglas Laing’s gemstones, nestled within highly-bespoke packaging.”
These bottlings have been sampled by whisky expert & author, Charles MacLean. He commented on them that “this is an exceptional set of six rare old Malt and Grain Scotch Whiskies – all Single Casks so extremely rare – selected by Fred Laing and his daughter, Cara, to mark the 75th Anniversary of their family business, Douglas Laing & Co., which was founded in Glasgow by Fred’s father in 1948. I was delighted to have been invited to assess and profile the whiskies, with Fred and Cara, in their new tasting room, and can happily report their excellence!”
“Our 75th Anniversary is a landmark and momentous occasion for us and one we continue to enjoy celebrating throughout the year,” added Cara Laing, Director of Whisky, and third generation in the family business. “We are delighted to be launching our Xtra Old Particular 75th Anniversary Editions – Single Cask Whiskies selected from deep within the Douglas Laing family vaults. These latest editions reflect very much our focus and philosophy to release excellent Scotch Whisky at the peak of perfection, truly honouring this significant milestone in our family history in more ways than my grandfather could ever have imagined. Here’s to the next 75 years of Whisky adventures!”
