Talisker 7 Year Old Douglas Laing Provenance 2008 Single Cask (2015) 70cl

The Douglas Laing family business has been bottling single barrels of distinction since 1948.

With members of the second and third generations of the Laing dynasty currently to at the helm, the company has 6 different brands/levels of single barrel bottlings available. The most recognisable of these are their Provenance (generally 3-10yo), Old Particular (generally 11-24yo) and Xtra Old Particular aka XOP (generally 25yo+) brands.

The Provenance series is designed as an introductory range of single malt or single grain whiskies where the Laing detectorists have discovered a single barrel that not only stands as a great whisky in its own right, but also best represents the distillery’s own signature profile and characteristics.

This Talisker is a young, seven-year-old, Talisker from Douglas Laing as part of the Provenance series.

Distilled in 2008, it was aged in a refill hogshead and was bottled in August 2016. A warming and fiery smoky whisky.

Palate: Sweet and smoky, briny with seaside rock pools and late damp bonfire ashes

Finish: Long, with soft leather, salted liquorice and a lingering soft smoke character (J)
