Douglas Laing extends range with single grain

Douglas Laing & Co has added four single grain Scotch whiskies to its Old Particular single cask collection, which previously only consisted of malt expressions.

The Old Particular single cask range has expanded with four single grain whiskies

The Scotch whisky bottler first launched the Old Particular range in 2013, and recently unveiled its Extra Old Particular range consisting of both single malt and single grain whisky.

Old Particular Single Grain launches with Cameronbridge 25 Years Old, Girvan 25 Years Old, North British 21 Years Old and Strathclyde 27 Years Old.

Bottled without colouring or chill filtration, each new bottle in the range carries an ABV of between 50.9% and 61.3%.

“Over the last five to six years we have softly promoted, and gently educated the Malt community with the ‘surprise’ quality of old grain Scotch whiskies, and we have been rewarded with sustained growth,” said Fred Laing, managing director of Douglas Laing & Co.

“Douglas Laing & Co certainly believes the time is now right to give this long under-rated sector far greater kudos.

“So within our Old Particular Single Cask flagship brand, we will now release selected antique stocks of different grain Scotch whiskies in a lively new livery which both differentiates it from the malts and also retains the character and specialised gravitas of the brand”.

Old Particular Single Grain bottlings are available from specialist whisky stores from August 2015 priced between £76.99 and £86.99.

In January this year Douglas Laing unveiled Rock Oyster, a Scotch whisky blend created using “maritime malts” from islands such as Jura, Islay, Arran and Orkney.
