Douglas Laing is an independent bottler of fine Scotch whisky established in 1948.

The Exceptional Single Cask series encompasses Provenance, Premier Barrel, Old Particular and Xtra Old Particular.

The Glen Spey Distillery is situated in Rothes, Speyside Scotland. The Distillery produces a light malt whisky which is produced due to the distilleries ‘purifiers’ which act as small condensers. This increases the amount of reflux within the stills. Built in 1878 it is owned by Diageo and primarily used for the blended malt Scotch whisky J&B Rare.

This Xtra Old Particular was matured in a single refill hogshead for 21 years. Distilled in January 1997 and bottled in November 2018 at 51.1% abv.
