Description

This is a rare 50-year-old single grain Scotch whisky from the North British distillery, independently bottled by Douglas Laing & Co. as part of their esteemed Directors' Cut series. Distilled in 1962, this expression was aged for half a century in a single cask before being bottled at natural cask strength. It represents a demonstration of the elegance and complexity that aged grain whiskies can achieve.
