  Clan Denny Highland Edition Small Batch Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 0533-7746

  No distillery is named on the label, and that is not an oversight. Douglas Laing has gathered the Highlands into one bottle and let the region speak instead of the name.

  Expert description

  Clan Denny Highland Edition Small Batch Release is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

  Clan Denny is Douglas Laing's range of regional small batch releases, where a handful of casks from the same region are married into a single expression. The distillery is not disclosed, and that is the whole idea — you are buying a regional character rather than a name. Douglas Laing has worked as an independent bottling house in Glasgow since 1948, and the family still picks the casks themselves in the sample room.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Honey and ripe fruit first. Apple, pear and a touch of peach, over a warm cereal base and pale vanilla from the wood.

  Palate

  Round and malty. Dried fruit, caramelised oak and a layer of spice with cinnamon and nutmeg under the sweetness. The texture is soft and lightly oily.

  Finish

  Long and fruity, with cereal, toasted nuts and dark honey fading into a lightly dry close.

  Did you know?

  The Clan Denny name comes from Douglas Laing's old Denny range, originally reserved for single grain whisky from closed distilleries. Today the name also covers regional malts, but the principle is unchanged: the casks speak, not the label.

  Clan Denny Islay Edition Small Batch Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 0533-7745

  Peat smoke, seaweed and sea air with no distillery name to steer your expectations. Clan Denny Islay Edition lets you meet the island on its own terms.

  Expert description

  Clan Denny Islay Edition Small Batch Release is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  Douglas Laing selected the casks as a portrait of Islay as a whole rather than of one particular house. The island has only a handful of working distilleries, and although the source is not disclosed the style is unmistakable: peat smoke, salt and a medicinal edge no other Scottish region delivers in quite the same way. Bottling without chill filtration and without colouring means both texture and colour are as the cask left them.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Peat smoke, sea breeze and a light medicinal note of iodine and seaweed. Under the smoke sit vanilla, honey and a touch of citrus.

  Palate

  Round and silky with a clear balance between sweetness and smoke. Apple caramel, baked pear and candied orange meet salted liquorice, bonfire smoke and a hint of nuts. The oak provides a lightly spiced frame.

  Finish

  Long and persistent with peat smoke, warm spice and a slowly fading sweetness that leaves salt sea air and dark chocolate.

  Did you know?

  Islay is only about 40 kilometres long but supplies a wildly disproportionate share of the world's peated whisky. The peat there is formed from moss, heather and seaweed, and it is the seaweed that gives the maritime, iodine-like note you do not find in mainland peat.

  Clan Denny Speyside Edition Small Batch Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 0533-7747

  Speyside has the most distilleries and the fewest extremes. This bottle does not try to be a particular house — it tries to be the region.

  Expert description

  Clan Denny Speyside Edition Small Batch Release is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

  Douglas Laing married a small number of Speyside casks into one expression without disclosing the source. The region around the river Spey holds more than half of Scotland's working malt distilleries, and what they share is a style built on fruit, malt and soft sweetness rather than smoke. Small batch here means each release is limited and may vary slightly from one run to the next.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Apple compote, honey and pale malt. Behind them sit vanilla, dried apricot and a light floral note.

  Palate

  Soft and malt-sweet. Pear, honey and pale caramel, with a touch of cinnamon from the oak. The mouthfeel is light and straightforward, without hard edges.

  Finish

  Medium, dry and malty, with cereal and a faint nutty warmth at the close.

  Did you know?

  Speyside was only formally recognised as a whisky region in its own right in 2009. Until then its distilleries were officially counted as Highland, which explains why so many old labels say Highland Malt on whisky that came from the Spey valley.
