- Description
- This Lowland blended malt from Douglas Laing receives a finishing period in white Port casks from Portugal's Douro Valley, adding honeyed fruit and bright spice to the typically grassy, floral base of the region. The white Port influence keeps the profile fresh and zesty rather than heavy, allowing the underlying malt character to remain visible. Textured and elegant, it works particularly well as an after-dinner pour or with lighter foods.
