ABOUT
Established in 1948, Douglas Laing is globally regarded as a leading independent Scotch Whisky specialist, with a focus on genuine Small Batch and artisan bottlings. With over 70 years industry expertise and experience, we are a proud family business in its third generation.
Our goal is to continually exceed the expectations of our customers and end consumers around the world by offering the most special and unique Scotch Whisky experience.
After decades of establishing unique relationships, we access and thereafter hand select the finest, and often rarest, Scotch Whisky stocks from across all of Scotland’s Whisky regions.
Douglas Laing and Co are pleased to introduce the Remarkable Regional Malts; our collection of premium, Blended (or “Vatted”) Malt Scotch Whiskies.
It all began in 2009 with Big Peat; a marriage of Single Malts from Distilleries in Islay. Following his success, Douglas Laing launched Scallywag in 2013 (Speyside Single Malts), Timorous Beastie in 2014 (Highland Single Malts), Rock Island in 2015 (Island Single Malts), and The Epicurean in 2016 (Lowland Single Malts).
We believe that our Remarkable Regional Malts are the Ultimate Distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions; each bottling embodies the overarching characteristics of the region it is sourced from, without colouring or chill-filtration.

If a Single Malt is a violin, you might consider a Blended Malt to be an entire orchestra.
