OLD MALT CASK
This intriguing range emerged in 1998 with a caveat that the single cask bottlings would only be available in limited numbers. But the initial 50 – to commemorate the company’s 50th anniversary – was gradually passed and today we can regularly offer over a hundred superb Malts to the connoisseur or anyone else with good taste for that matter.
In Douglas Laing's book, colouring is wicked (in its original meaning) and chill filtration techniques make them shiver at the thought. Without apology, The OLD MALT CASK offerings are not chill filtered, leaving in each bottle all the oils, fats and enzymes that combine to give the quality of the nose, palate, mouth-feel and finish.
A preferred strength of 50% alc/vol (referred to as the Golden Strength by old die hards) is maintained as the creators wholeheartedly believe this strength creates a fine, round, full quality for various Malts when taken “neat.”
