Douglas Laing
concludes the Old Particular Elements
Series with the release of the final
element, 'Water', a Jura 12 Year Old
single cask, cask strength whisky which
was finished in a Pedro Ximénez Sherry
butt.
Douglas Laing today concluded
its Old Particular Element Series with
the release of Old Particular Elements
Series Jura 12 Year Old Water Edition.
The limited edition Single Cask series,
which was initiially launched around
this time last year took its inspiration
from the four Elements of Fire, Air,
Earth and Water and the invaluable
contribution each element makes to
Scotch Whisky.
The Jura 12 Year Old Water Edition, the
latest and final edition, was finished
in a Pedro Ximénez Sherry butt, which
Douglas Laing tells me has imparted
warming winter spiced and chewy toffee
notes to the salty, maritime Jura spirit
within.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of
54.3% ABV and in line with the Douglas
Laing family philosophy, without
colouring or chill-filtration, the Old
Particular Elements Series is said to
epitomise Scotch Whisky that is "truly
as natural as it gets".
The concept is brought to life by
intricate illustrated labels, with the
latest release featuring crashing waves
in honour of the wild waters surrounding
the Isle of Jura.
Director of Whisky and third generation
in the family business, Cara Laing,
comments on the conclusion of the
series: "Our Old Particular Elements
Series celebrates the natural elements
that, combined with human care and
attention, produce the Scotch Whiskies
that are celebrated the world over. Our
cask selection for the Elements Series
seeks to embody each of the Elements
individually, with the maritime
qualities of this particular cask neatly
personifying the small but mighty Isle
of Jura and its surrounding wild seas."
The complete Old Particular Elements
Series comprises Craigellachie 12 Year
Old "Fire" Edition, Cameronbridge 27
Year Old "Air" Edition, Caol Ila 8 Year
Old "Earth" Edition and this
newly-released Jura 12 Year Old "Water"
Edition. They retail at around £95 but I
have seen them as low as £74 and will be
available to buy from specialist online
whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
