We’ve been producing since 1948 so just up to our 75th Anniversary next year, producing a full range of Scotch whiskey products.

So Douglas Laing has been going since 1948, we are now in the third generation of the family.

The company is now 100 owned by the family very much focused on producing the highest possible quality Scotch whiskeys.

With me today I have got our remarkable regional malts series which are all blended malts.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-8.jpg)
Each one being 100 single malt marriage of single casks and different distilleries.

Producing to make something as the perfect bottle for each region in Scotland.

We started in 2009, Big Pete now.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-11.jpg)
Big Pete was the idea of producing one bottle to represent the whiskey production region of Islay here in Scotland.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-12.jpg)
What we did is we took a marriage of casks from Caol Ila, Bowmore , Ardbeg and even the fabled Port Ellen,
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-13.jpg)
marry them together to give us a perfect example of an Islay’s style Scotch whiskey.
From there we decided to produce the Remarkable Regional Malts as a full series.

We now have the Epicurean, our Lowland style whiskey.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-15.jpg)
TImorous Beastie, our Highland style of whiskey producing with facilities like Dalmore but also including our own distillery Strathairn which we purchased in 2019.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-16.jpg)
From there we have Scallywag, Speyside whiskey producing with Macallan M black and Glenn Rothas.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-17.jpg)
The Gaul Drons are Campbelltown the newest and the final bottle to add.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-18.jpg)
And finally Rock Island, gathering together four Scottish islands, we take Orkney, Arran, Jura and Isla, marry four distilleries together to produce something very coastal very maritime and completely unique in our range.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-20.jpg)
Every bottle we produce follows the same ethos.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-21.jpg)
We’re always looking to produce something high quality, natural non-chill filtered, natural color, unadulterated and high alcohol.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-22.jpg)
So each of these is bottled at 46% alcohol and up.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-23.jpg)
Every single year we’re producing these in very very small batches, limited editions, age statements.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/barconvent_2022_10/barconvent_2022_10_09-24.jpg)
But again, always focused on the small batch quality that you would know and expect for a family company here in Scotland.
