The family-run company Hunter Laing & Co. Ltd. is already managed by the third generation. As an independent bottler, the family only brings hand-picked Scottish single malts onto the market. For this, Stewart H. Laing and his sons Scott & Andrew buy barrels that meet their quality requirements and let them mature according to their own ideas and later also bottle them. Also available from Hunter Laing are regionally bottled blended malt whiskeys.

Aroma: leather and wax paper, some tar and citrus zest, mild sweetness with a hint of herbs and delicate smoke.
