Old
Particular Elements Series launches with
'Fire', a Craigellachie 12 Year Old from
a well-fired and characterful Sherry
butt
Glasgow based independent whisky
bottler Douglas Laing today unveiled the
Old Particular 2019 'Elements' Single
Cask Collection, a series of Old
Particular Single Cask Limited Edition
bottlings for 2019, inspired by the four
Elements of Fire, Air, Earth and Water.
The new series launches with the 'Fire'
bottling which, very aptly, is a
mocha-spiced Craigellachie 12 Year Old
from a well-fired and characterful
Sherry butt. All the Old Particular
Elements Single Casks, it has been
bottled at natural cask strength and as
you would expect from Douglas Laing,
without colouring or chill-filtration.
The packaging for these specialist
bottlings depicts an intricate
illustration of each of the four
Elements.
Cara Laing, Douglas Laing’s Director of
Whisky who selected the Whiskies,
commented on the new Elements series,
saying: "Our cask selection and
packaging design pays tribute to the
natural elements that contribute so
significantly to the production of
Scotch Whisky. From oak trees to charred
casks, peat and of course water, this
specialist Single Cask Collection
celebrates the role of the Elements in
the Whisky-making cycle."
The Old Particular Single Cask
Collection features four Whiskies in
total, each
paired with one of the Elements, the
first release, Craigellachie 12 Year
Old 'Fire' Edition is at cask strength
and is expected to retail at £95 and
will be available to buy from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
