Douglas Laing Provenance Bottlings fro April 2013 – Scotch Whisky News
This month we have selected for the PROVENANCE range four (4) new bottling – more to follow next week .
Tasting Notes for PROVENANCE:
PRV0971 Glencadam 8 year old
Barley sweet and soft as it opens on the nose – it warms to sherbet and a light citric/spiced tone. The palate is bigger than the nose suggests – full of fudge, vanilla – crunched sugar in honey – all of which is neatly replicated on the finish (F)
PRV09723 Mortlach 10 year old
Opens fresh and fragrant on the nose, developing to a sweet, malty character. The palate is sweet and fruity, carrying a sugar sprinkled strawberries style. The finish is medium long, attractively toffee’d with a lemon tang. (J)
PRV 0974 Dalmore 12 year old
Opens clean on the nose, carrying a green malt character plus a honey and fruit quality. The palate is light and fresh, running to an American Cream Soda style. The finish is medium long, softly spiced with a lingering orange pith character.
PRV0972 Glengoyne 13 year old
Opens clean and fresh, carrying a sweet, fruity quality + a soft malt character. The palate remains sweet, with crushed sugar and is smoothly spiced with a fresh orange style. The finish is medium long, spicy, still citric (grapefruit style now) plus orange pith. (J)
We hope you will like them as much as we do.
Yours sincerely

PS. Just off the production line – is a wonderfully maritime Ledaig 7 Year Old – whose tasting notes are: Massively peated as it opens on the nose- with a real ferry engine room character! – say no more. Truly sweet on the palate – with a more subtle phenolic approach, hinting at coal dust and late tar, then its finish is toffee sweet plus a coal cellar and distinctly spiced character. (F)
