Douglas Laing Old Particular (distilled at Strathclyde) 27 year old 1987, 51.5%

Price: 124 Issue: Summer 2016 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Grain Scotch

Creamy vanilla, fresh-cut grass, gentle herbal notes, Murray mints, and the warm newsprint wrappers of fish and chips on the coast (in a lovely, comforting way). The cereals provide a sweet biscuit note, butterscotch candy, gingersnaps, and a nip of aniseed. The outturn of cask #10804, its taste develops with dried orange peel, cookie dough, and vanilla. Quite scrumptious! Fading slowly, it leaves behind gentle spices and syrup-drizzled popcorn. (198 bottles) £86
