Whisky Focus - Douglas Laing The Gurkha Charity Bottling

From the Highland of Scotland for the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

Douglas Laing & Company have launched a Single Cask bottling of their finest Old Malt Cask - chosen to commemorate Scotland’s long association with the Gurkhas – Nepal’s legendary fighting men. Gurkhas first fought alongside Scottish soldiers in 1817 and have continued to do so with courage and professionalism to this day. Their 13 Victoria Crosses bear testament to their unfailing valour and loyalty to the British crown.

As with our Allt-a-Bhainne Highland Malt, the Gurkhas also come from wild and high places.

Fred Laing the company’s MD says: "Every year we select a charity for which we will bottle a Single Cask from our stock. This year we have chosen the Gurkhas. Their famous war cry "Ayo Gorkhali!" translates as "The Gurkhas are here!", and whilst Douglas Laing & Co has no such famous war cry, we are proud and happy to send all proceeds of this bottling to the Gurkha Welfare Trust."

Only 298 bottles have been filled of this 20 years old Allt-a-Bhainne, with a RRP of approximately £75.
