- Description
- A refined 35-year-old grain from Strathclyde, matured since 1987 in a single refill barrel and bottled by Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular series. Three-and-a-half decades of aging have built creamy vanilla, buttery pastry notes, and gentle nuttiness that showcase the elegance grain whisky can achieve with time.
