What makes Rare Drams unique? 

The Company:

Douglas Laing,  Scotland's most influential independant bottler, is delighted to be bringing our esteemed products to the taste buds of British Columbians. Our reputation in Scotland is simple, yet unique: our company specialises in producing scotch that is a wee bit special. 

During the past 70 years Douglas Laing have always selected malts from the distillery at the time of distillation ("zero age") and as such they havebeen able to accumulate a significant range of excellent mature malt whiskies. The company is run by the brothers Laing, Fred and Stewart. Both are Master Blenders bringing their many years of skill to selecting the right malt to bottle at the right time. New bottlings are released every month.

Romance and The Single Cask:

There is a romance to a Douglas Laing scotch. Each bottle you drink derives from a single cask. Unlike Distillery bottling which brings together several hundred casks at a time, Douglas Laing's Malts come from only a single cask. Matured and bottled when they feel that particular whisky has reached it's perfection. This means we have unique vintages such as 11, 13, or 17.

Each Douglas Laing release, even from the same distillery brings with it a unique taste. No one cask is the same as another. The Malt whisky retains the individual flavours and nuances extracted from their maturation. All of our Malts have limitted quantities, unlike the thousands you can expect from a large distillers production run. 

No drink epitomizes history quite like scotch. To develop a taste that is exactly right some casks take ten years, some eleven, others seventeen or twentyfive. Can you imaginge drinking a forty year old dram? In the first forty years of entering the cask, Neil Armstrong made his first 'step for mankind'. Or perhaps you are enjoying a thirteen year old Laphroaig. Celebrating nothing but the drink's uniqueness.
