Douglas Laing & Co. Double Barrel Speyside & Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Double Barrel Speyside & Lowland is a Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing & Co., created by marrying two contrasting single malts: one from Speyside and one from the Lowlands. The combination brings together Speyside’s fruit-forward sweetness with the fresh, grassy and cereal-driven character associated with Lowland malt. Bottled at 46% ABV, this non-age-statement expression offers an approachable balance of fresh fruit, sweet malt, honey, vanilla, citrus and gentle spice. Douglas Laing does not disclose the two component distilleries. 

Food Pairing: Mild cheddar, roasted almonds, honey-glazed chicken, buttery shortbread, apple tart or vanilla-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Fresh and fruit-driven with sweet malt, honey and vanilla, developing gentle spice and bright citrus toward the finish.

Nose: Fragrantly fresh with sweet fruit and a soft, gristy malt character.

Palate: Sweet and fruity with honey, vanilla and smooth malt character.

Finish: Softly spiced with a refreshing orange-zest character.

Serve: Enjoy neat, over ice or with a small amount of water. Its fresh fruit and honeyed character also works well in a simple Scotch highball.
