You've gotta admire Laing's ability to market anything into something... that Craigellachie looks good though, might be in for one, price depending.

William has mentioned DLs clever marketing in the past, they do know how to get there stuff noticed and it is more often than not worth trying

I like them. I picked up Glenrothes year of the dog, 2018, limited release packaging last year, might be tempted to get the Craigellachie from DL this year.

However, fully expecting these too be priced on the higher side, which is also a DL practice in recent times.

What comes with good product, good package, good marketting = a more lighter wallet than you might have thought.

According to Master of Malt on Instagram these are Asian market exclusive? Is that confirmed anywhere?

[William]

Douglas Laing didn't mention that these would be exclusively available in the Asian market when they sent me the info on them but I have since contacted them and I can confirm that the 3 Year of the Pig bottling's will be available in:

• XOP Craigellachie – Taiwan, China and Hong Kong
• Old Particular Bunnahabhain – Taiwan
• Old Particular Glengoyne – Taiwan

The bottling's will be sold as a set of 3 in Taiwan with a retail price of NT$19,999.

I’m afraid I don’t have the individual retail price of the XOP in China and Hong Kong.
