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:

I have a few Old Malt Cask Port Ellen bottlings in the back of the cupboard and have also enjoyed drinking a few bottles iin the past. I wonder how much more stock of Port Ellen Douglas Laing have in their warehouse.

I have also had the pleasure of a few Port Ellen bottling's in the past from Douglas Laing and they have always been very good indeed. Go on spoil yourself now as the prices are only going to keep rising.

They must be running short Lennox with the amount they put into Big Peat Laughing more than likely a teaspoon in every batch, but I cant knock it a cracking young peaty blended malt.
