Production method
Blending of single malts sourced from the Lowlands (blended malt / vatted malt), bottled by Douglas Laing; some expressions are offered without added colour and without chill-filtration.

Not a distillery: produced as a blend (blended/vatted) of single malts from different Lowlands distilleries and bottled by Douglas Laing.
Ageing
Maturation in casks; some editions undergo a secondary finish in wine casks (e.g. Amarone, White Port).
