Description

Founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing; not a distillery itself, but a family-owned, third-generation independent Scotch bottler behind the 'Remarkable Regional Malts' range (including Big Peat, Scallywag, and Timorous Beastie) and the Old Particular single-cask series. Split in 2013 between brothers Fred and Stewart Laing, with Stewart going on to found Hunter Laing & Co.; Douglas Laing acquired the small Strathearn distillery in Perthshire in 2019.
