This Douglas Laing's Provenance Blair Athol 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky was distilled in September 2011 and matured for 10 Years in a refill barrel before bottling in February 2022. At the start of the highlands, near the picturesque town of Pitlochry lies the Blair Athol distillery. Production is mainly geared towards components for the popular Bells blended whisky, but every now and again a cask makes it's way to the Indie bottlers. The malt produced at Blair Athol is considerably nutty and spicy. It is this character which allows it to show so well in ex-Sherry.
Provenance marks the first series in Douglas Laing and Co's Exceptional Single Casks journey. For Provenance, DLC bottle extraordinary Single Cask Single Malts from a vast range of Scotland’s Whisky Distilleries. Each bottling is offered to you “as natural as it gets” – at 46% alcohol strength or higher, and without colouring or chill-filtration. Casks tend to be refill which helps to highlight each distilleries unique character.
