The wine

A 50 year old single cask North British (#DL Ref 9783) distilled in 1962 and bottled in 2013.

Douglas Laing is today run by Fred Laing and his daughter Cara. A limited edition of 150 bottles.

The distillery North British

North British was founded in 1885 by a consortium of Scottish blenders who hoped to break DCL’‘s monopoly on grain distillation (now Diageo). It was for a long time the most productive grain distillery in Scotland and, although most of its production was reserved for blends, a few of its venerable single grains are still released.
