Highland Park

Highland Park’s origins are cloaked in legend, with its founding marked in 1798 but with various accounts of its early ownership. Located in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands, the distillery expanded under James Grant in the late 19th century and is now owned by Edrington. It continues to use traditional floor malting and lightly peated malt (under 3ppm), creating a signature balance of gentle smoke and honeyed sweetness.

Signature expressions include 12 and 18-year-olds, as well as limited editions inspired by Norse mythology. With warehouse capacity for 28,000 Sherry casks, Highland Park offers deep maturation character and has become a favorite among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.

Douglas Laing

Douglas Laing is a renowned independent bottler from Scotland, founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing. Now run by his son Fred Laing and granddaughter Cara Laing, the company is best known for the “Remarkable Regional Malts” series—including Big Peat, Scallywag, Timorous Beastie, Rock Island, and The Epicurean—that capture the character of different Scotch whisky regions. In addition to blended malts, they also offer single cask ranges such as Old Particular, XOP (Xtra Old Particular), and Premier Barrel, all bottled without chill filtration or added coloring to preserve the whisky’s original character.

Douglas Laing takes pride in its careful cask selection and natural presentation philosophy. In 2019, the company took a bold step by establishing The Clutha Distillery in Glasgow, marking its evolution from independent bottler to full-scale producer. Spanning three generations, Douglas Laing is celebrated for its deep cask inventory and commitment to quality, earning a loyal following among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
