Douglas Laing’s ethos

Douglas Laing’s ethos is ‘As natural as it gets’. Simply put, we don’t chill-filter or colour our whisky, and we bottle at a higher alcohol strength than most other producers. Boasting the best of Speyside… rich fruity and spicy with notes of vanilla, we think enjoying it neat is a great choice.
