|
|
Douglas Laing has released 7 new XOP bottlings including the firm's oldest ever Port Ellen Distillery release bottled at 36 Years Old.
The seven latest releases in the Douglas Laing XOP range are as follows:
◾From Islay
Port Ellen 36 Years Old, 56.6% ABV, £1,175.68
Bruichladdich 26 Years Old, 52.1% ABV, £175.91
◾From Speyside
Auchroisk 25 Years Old, 55.4% ABV, £115.86
Strathmill 32 Years Old, 51% ABV
◾From The Highlands
Highland Park 21 Years Old 52.6% ABV, £162.14
◾Grain Whiskies
Girvan 50 Years Old, 43.7% ABV, £347.17
Port Dundas 37 Years Old, 60.2% ABV, £209.66
DL's Port Ellen 36 year old checks out at less than HALF the price of Diageo's £2,400 Port Ellen 1983 32 Year Old Special Releases 2015 and Diageo's offering is a vatting of multiple casks. I have had the pleasure of a few Douglas Laing Port Ellen bottlings in the past and they have been consistently outstanding and i would be confident this latest offering from DL will be also.
Some more info here on the 7 new XOP releases:

Go on spoil yourself now as the prices are only going to keep rising.
