- Description
- Matured first in a brandy butt for 30 years, then finished in sherry casks, this Douglas Laing bottling is a rare experiment in sequential wood influence. The brandy cask imparted subtle warmth and honeyed complexity; the sherry finish adds layers of dried fruit, spice, and richness. The palate is full-bodied and intricate at 52.5% ABV, with a long finish that showcases both cask influences in harmony. This unconventional maturation suits adventurous drinkers seeking complex, wood-driven expressions.
