Two Douglas Laing Old Particular Wine Cask Collection Releases


7th May 2025
Douglas Laing & Co. unveils the next chapter in its Old Particular Wine Cask Collection.

Douglass Laing Old Particular Wine Cask Collection Jura 13 Year Old and a Fettercairn 14 Year OldDouglas Laing & Co. continues its acclaimed Old Particular Wine Cask Collection with the release of two Single Cask expressions: a Old Particular Jura 13 Year Old and a Fettercairn 14 Year Old. Each whisky has been uniquely finished in hand-selected wine casks, carefully chosen to amplify their distinctive character.

Following the success of last year's Red Wine Cask Collection, this new release further explores the delicate interplay between fine Scotch Whisky and premium wine cask maturation.

Douglas Laing Managing Director Cara Laing reflects: "The art of whisky finishing is about complementing and elevating the spirit without overpowering its inherent charm. Our Old Particular Wine Cask Collection exemplifies this philosophy, offering whisky lovers a new dimension of flavour, complexity, and depth."

The first two releases in this four-bottle series feature carefully matured Single Cask selections, each enriched by the influence of world-class wine casks:
  • Old Particular Jura 13 Year Old – Finished in a Ruby Port Wine Cask, this Island Single Malt unveils rich aromas of ripe plums and cherries, leading to a palate of raspberry conserve, gentle spices, and smooth honeyed malt. The long, layered finish reveals stewed strawberries, floral undertones, and luxurious cocoa.
     
  • Old Particular Fettercairn 14 Year Old – Matured in a Red Pineau des Charentes Wine Cask, this Highland expression opens with malt and Highland honey on the nose, followed by notes of blackcurrant and fig. The palate offers indulgent layers of juicy cherries, creamy cocoa, and spiced oak, with a lingering finish of caramelised sweetness, dried prunes, and refined red fruits.

Both expressions are bottled at 48.4% ABV, non-chill filtered, and free from added colouring — preserving the whisky's natural character in its most authentic form. There are just 264 bottles of the Jura 13 Year Old and 222 of the Fettercairn 14 Year Old available and you will find them available from specialist online whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt
