Douglas Laing
unveils Old Particular 'Cheers to Better
Days' mini-series, four single cask
whiskies: Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old
single malt, Linkwood 12 Year Old single
malt, Jura 12 Year Old single malt and a
Port Dundas 16 Year Old single grain
whisky.
Douglas Laing today unveiled the next
instalment of their popular Old
Particular range, four new single cask
whiskies, three single malts and one
single grain whisky which they are
releasing as the Old Particular 'Cheers
to Better Days' mini-series.
The four single cask whiskies are:
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old single malt,
Linkwood 12 Year Old single malt, Jura
12 Year Old single malt and a Port
Dundas 16 Year Old single grain whisky.
The Glasgow based family owned and run
whisky firm says its Cheers to Better
Days Series has been bottled in
"celebration of a brighter future ahead"
and I am sure we would all drink to
that.
Douglas Laing tells me that all four of
the single cask limited edition
bottlings are noted to be "bursting with
summer time character". The bottles are
presented with a 'striking' orange label
that features a bespoke, hand-drawn
illustration which is intended to
signify "joy, warmth, health and
success". The set is described as having
"distinct, different and divine" flavour
profiles; the Jura release is said to
have notes of "sea-salt, rich toffee and
charred oak", the Port Dundas has a
palate of "freshly baked pancakes,
toasted nuts and juiced pineapples", the
Linkwood has hints of "tangy green
fruits, thick cream and buttery oat
biscuits", and the Bunnahabhain balances
a "melody of zesty citrus juices and
sweet spices."
Cara Laing, Douglas Laing’s Director of
Whisky, commented: "The light at the end
of the tunnel, that we are all so
desperately craving, has been truly and
beautifully represented by this
mini-series. The vivid orange label
design is intended to stand on
consumer’s shelves at home as a
promising reminder that brighter days
are just around the corner. The unique
flavours that are encapsulated inside
each and every one of these bottlings
represent warmth, comfort and vibrancy –
a taste of what’s to come."
All four of the Old Particular 'Cheers
to Better Days' whiskies have been
bottled 48.4% ABV and as you would
expect from DL they are "as natural as
it gets", without colouring or
chill-filtration.
The Old Particular 'Cheers to Better
Days' Linkwood 12 Year Old Single Malt
bottling will retail at £75/€87.50 and
will be available exclusively from the
Douglas Laing website and the
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Single Malt
edition is expected to retail at £70/CN¥640
exclusively in Asia.
The Old Particular 'Cheers to Better
Days' Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt and
Port Dundas 16 Year Old Single Grain
releases are expected to retail at
£65/€75.50 and £85/€99 respectively and
will be available
