Douglas Laing Old Particular 1988 (distilled at Glenturret), 45.4%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2016 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A 27 year old offering from Glenturret, in Perthshire, this bottling is from a refill hogshead that was filled in December 1988. Fresh mango and ripe peaches on the early nose, followed by a slightly smoky, earthy note. Viscous on the palate, with orchard fruit notes, coconut, caramel, and nutmeg. Drying in the finish, with mildly tannic oak, black pepper, and a final flourish of citrus. (264 bottles) £110
