Single grain Scotch from the Cameronbridge distillery, matured for 30 years in a single refill hogshead between October 1991 and May 2022. Bottled up at 30 years old, this expression joins the Old Particular series from independent bottler Douglas Laing, with a release of 168 bottles.
Douglas Laing are well known for bottling excellent single casks in their Old Particular range and for producing Big Peat, a best selling Islay blended malt, and with this special release they have combined the two. This is a single cask from an un-named Islay distillery, but it's a good bet that it's a distillery that contributes to Big Peat's blended malt. It's been drawn from a re-fill sherry butt, where it slumbered for 15 years, then bottled at a hearty 48.4% with no added colour and no chill filtration. Expect smoky BBQ, espresso and sweet cereal notes from this mysterious dram.
