- Description
- Islay's smoky character shines through in this 6-year-old malt labeled as 'Smokey' and 'Medicinal' by some. Douglas Laing's commitment to the island's unique climate results in an 'Oily' and 'Leathery' dram that intrigues. Priced at £55.24, it's either a young firecracker or a gamble without tasting it.
