Douglas Laing Arran 26-year-old 1997 is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Arran, bottled from a single refill butt at cask strength. That means it comes from one individual cask rather than a large batch, and it is bottled at its natural strength without dilution.
At 26 years old, it is likely to show more maturity and oak influence than a younger dram while still reflecting Arran’s fruit-led house style. A refill cask typically has a gentler impact than a fresh cask, so the distillery character can remain more visible alongside developed, age-driven complexity.
