Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 50%

A long-awaited moment, as Douglas Laing's Strathearn distillery finally releases its Inaugural single malt whisky! Launched in April 2024, Strathearn Inaugural single malt whisky has been bottled without colouring or chill filtration at 50% and looks like a stunner.

Strathearn distillery was founded in Perthshire in 2013 and taken over by Douglas Laing in 2019. There have been a handful of work-in-progress drams and indie bottlings, but this is the first full public release of Strathearn's Highland single malt whisky.

Strathearn is tiny and produces only one barrel of spirit a day. The distillery now uses only malt from the low-yielding heritage barley variety Maris Otter, preferring its clean, creamy character, and this Inaugural edition was a small batch of 32 casks comprising ex-bourbon barrels, virgin oak and sherry butts.
