The story
Double Barrel is a range by Douglas Laing & Co. conceived as a "marriage" of two distinct single malts, offered in several regional combinations. The line received a packaging and positioning restyling around 2021; editions are distributed in 70cl bottles and typically bottled at 46% ABV.
Production philosophy
To offer balanced fusions between two single malts from different regions to achieve harmonious contrasts (sweetness vs smoke, citrus vs spice), focusing on the whisky's style rather than the single origin of each cask.
Territory
Scotland
Production method
Blended malt: selection and pairing (marriage) of two single malts matured separately and then combined; bottled at 46% ABV. Some communications related to the rebranding indicate packaging and processing designed to preserve natural colour and organoleptic characteristics.
