Douglas Laing 20cl Old malt cask 'Advance Samples'

Hi Spirits : The Whiskys : Douglas Laing & Co : Douglas Laing 20cl Old malt cask 'Advance Samples'

Replicating the sample bottles sent to them from stock held at the Distilleries – these wee 20cl bottles appear to have been hand written by one of the team pulling the sample (full marks for legibility!). Douglas Laing select specific bottlings from the 700cl capacities and fill first about 150-200 of the 20cl bottles – so these are little “rarities” – small bottles, in small quantities, from a very small bottling, from a small family company.
