Douglas Laing launch the older & rarer "XOP" Xtra Old Particular single cask range

Glasgow based independent Scotch whisky specialist Douglas Laing & Co have announced the release of an extension of their Old Particular single cask whisky range with the release of their older and rarer aged Single Cask Scotch Whisky range "XOP" – Xtra Old Particular.

Similar to the Old Particular range that we are now familar with the older and rarer XOP range carries aged Single Malt and Single Grain Scotch Whiskies from all across Scotland’s Whisky regions and is bottled as whisky should be in a totally natural a style. Meaning XOP bottlings are from only one selected cask, without colouring, without chill-filtration and at natural cask strength but it is Xtra Old.

The new XOP range will be available from specialist whisky retailers from this month and Douglas Laing tell me that you will find some truly "xceptional" bottlings in this first batch of XOP releases, including a Macallan 26 Years Old, an Invergordon 40 Years Old Single Grain and a Caol Ila 30 Years Old.

As you would expect for whiskies of this rarity, the XOP Old Particular bottlings is presented in premium packaging. Every attention to detail has been paid from the premium wooden gift box to the regionally coloured bottle labels, screen-printed bottle and individually numbered certificate. As usual the folks at DL have worked hard to present packaging that is befitting of the rare whiskies it houses.

Says Douglas Laing’s Managing Director Fred Laing: "Our XOP range will carry our best-of–the-best stocks of particularly old and personally selected Single Casks of both Malt and Grain Whiskies which we intend to slowly release into the market. That is one of the real privileges and pleasures to be doing so with casks laid down by my father, Fred Douglas Laing, perhaps with this moment in mind. He would surely recognise the premium qualities in our XOP selection today which he himself demanded back in the 1940s when he founded his eponymous company."

Look out for Douglas Laing’s XOP Xtra Old Particular Single Casks, they will be available from specialist Whisky retailers from this month.
