The story
Founded in Glasgow in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, the company has remained family-run and is now operated by the third generation. Over its history it has developed several collections and brands (including King of Scots, Old Particular, Big Peat). In 2013 a restructuring/transfer of some family assets led to the creation of Hunter Laing; Douglas Laing & Co. retained and further developed its own product lines. In 2019 Douglas Laing acquired Strathearn Distillery, marking an occasional move from purely bottling activities to controlled production/distillation.
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks; across its lines and individual batches the company frequently uses ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and, for some expressions, virgin oak or refill hogsheads.
