The story
Provenance was created as one of Douglas Laing & Co's lines dedicated to single cask and small batch bottlings sourced from various Scottish distilleries. The series has been relaunched and expanded over the years and includes releases from many Scotch regions (Speyside, Highland, Islay, etc.).
Production philosophy
The Provenance line aims to offer bottles 'as natural as it gets': single casks or small batches selected for territorial character, bottled at 46% ABV or above, with no added colour and without chill-filtration, to highlight the singularity of each cask.
Territory
Scotland (various Scotch whisky regions: Speyside, Highland, Islay, Island, etc.)
Production method
Selection and bottling of single casks / small batches sourced from different distilleries; Douglas Laing acts as an independent bottler rather than as an owning distillery for the Provenance line.
Distillation
Not applicable (Provenance is a line/series of independent bottlings; distillation is carried out by the original distilleries).
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks; the type of ageing varies depending on the individual cask (e.g. ex-bourbon, sherry butt, refill hogshead) according to the cask's origin.
