- Description
- Douglas Laing's marriage of Caol Ila and Tamdhu—two distinctly different Scottish distilleries—creates an unexpected dialogue between Islay peat and Speyside richness in this blended malt. Each cask contributes its own character, resulting in a complex dram that showcases the contrasting house styles of both producers.
