- Description
- This 12-year-old Orkney single malt, released by Douglas Laing's Old Particular range, matured in refill wood from 2007 to 2019, allowing the spirit's maritime character to develop naturally without heavy cask influence. Aged at 48.4% ABV and bottled without chill-filtration, it captures the distillery's true profile—whether that proves to be briny, heathery, or fruit-driven depends on which Orkney producer Douglas Laing has cryptically selected. A puzzle whisky that rewards those who enjoy detective work alongside their dram.
