Cuvée presentation

A North of Scotland single cask (#14548) distilled in 1970 and bottled in 2021. Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, primarily as a blending company but also as an independent bottler, with the latter activity becoming increasingly prominent over the years. When Fred Douglas Laing died in 1982, his two sons Fred and Stewart took over the business. Stewart left in 2013 to set up Hunter Laing. Douglas Laing is today managed by Fred Laing and his daughter Cara. A limited edition of 215 bottles.

The distillery North of Scotland

In 1957, George P. Christie bought Forth Brewery and founded the North Of Scotland distillery. This new distillery produced both grain whisky and malt whisky (under the name Strathmore) for use in blends. As demand for grain whisky was much higher at the time, just a year after the distillery opened Christie dismantled his pot stills to make room for a larger mash tun. North of Scotland suffered greatly during the subsequent overproduction crisis and the owner eventually decided to close the distillery in 1980, before selling it to Distillers Company Limited (DCL) two years later. The equipment was dismantled and transferred to other distilleries in the group, including the neighbouring Cambus distillery. The buildings are still used as warehouses today. North of Scotland is famous for being more aromatic and having more character than many of its grain-whisky peers. The first official bottling was a 50 year old released in 2017 in partnership with Elixir Distillers, but North of Scotland is mostly commonly found among independent bottlers.
