Glasgow-based Douglas Laing & Co are independent bottlers and blenders headed by brothers, Fred and Stewart Laing. The company has traditionally specialised in blending super-premium whiskies for Far East markets. The brothers succeeded their father, Fred Douglas, who founded the company in 1948 and they’ve not let their Dad down over the past 25 years, significantly expanding the enterprise. Key to their success has been the management and marketing of the vast stocks of old and rare malts the family has built up over the last half century.

In recent decades, one of the company’s most successful brands has been 'Big Peat', a vatted Islay malt containing spirit from Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore and Port Ellen. The entry level bottlings were batch releases. The label gained respect when it was awarded the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010, and a year later, Jim Murray's Blended Malt of the Year. A slew of expressions have followed including this special once-off for French retailer, La Maison Du Whisky, celebrating their 60th Anniversary. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
