70cl / 41.5% / Douglas Laing - A 1994 Auchroisk from Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular range, matured in a single refill hogshead for a quarter of a century, before being bottled in August 2019. Aromas of damp wood, foraged fruits, barley and gentle spices fill the nose, and the palate offers notes of creamy toffee, vanilla, nutmeg and pear drops, with hints of ginger cake, almond biscuits and dark chocolate lingering in the finish.
