- Description
- Distilled in 1974 at Garnheath—demolished just eight years later—this 46-year-old grain rested in a single refill barrel until Douglas Laing released it in 2020 with only 139 bottles. Decades of slow maturation in refill wood preserve the hallmark grain sweetness without excessive oak extraction. A rare artifact of Lowland grain production, suited to collectors valuing whisky history and heritage.
