Hunter Laing Whisky

For three generations, Hunter Laing has bottled some of the finest whisky Scotland has to offer – without owning a single cask to start with. Today the family has also become distillers in their own right.
  • Bowmore The Kinship No 1 Feis Ile 27 Year Hunter Laing Islay Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22353668-889

    27 years in sherry. 366 bottles. Released at Feis Ile — Islay's biggest whisky festival. Hunter Laing's The Kinship No. 1 is the kind of bottle you open and remember precisely when and with whom.

    Expert's description

    Bowmore The Kinship No 1 Feis Ile 27 Year is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry cask and bottled at 48.1%. Hunter Laing's The Kinship series is created as a tribute to Islay's distilleries and the traditions that have shaped the island's whisky. Each bottling is selected cask by cask and released in small quantities, focusing on maturity, character and provenance. The Kinship No. 1 is the first in the series — a 27-year-old Bowmore bottled specifically for Feis Ile 2017, the annual whisky festival on Islay. Selected by Jim McEwan, Islay's veteran spirit who came out of retirement as production director for Ardnahoe. Non-chill filtered, natural colour — 366 bottles at 48.1%.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Complex and aged. Dark fruit, sherry sweetness and dried flowers with a hint of sea breeze and gentle, elegant smoke from Bowmore's characteristic peat.

    Taste

    Silky and deep. The sherry cask dominates with fig, dried plum and dark chocolate. The peat whispers in the background — present but transformed by 27 years of maturation.

    Finish

    Very long and luxurious. Dried fruit, warm spice and a delicate coastal smoke that slowly fades. Exceptional length for this age and ABV.

  • Bottle of Bruichladdich 18 Year Old The Kinship 2023 from Hunter Laing
    Item no.: 222555-45539

    On Islay, they say some casks simply wait for the right moment. This is one of them — 18 years in the dark, ready to be celebrated alongside the island's biggest news.

    Expert description

    Bruichladdich 18 Year Old The Kinship 2023 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Hunter Laing, matured in a single cask and bottled at cask strength, 61.5%.

    The whisky is part of Hunter Laing's Kinship series, which in 2023 arrived at its seventh and final edition. The series was created to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe, on Islay, and the name Kinship refers to the closeness Ardnahoe shares with the island's other distilleries. The Bruichladdich bottling is the youngest in the closing edition, which otherwise spans whiskies as old as 33 years from names like Bowmore and Bunnahabhain.

    The whisky comes from a single cask and is bottled at its natural cask strength, with no colouring or chill filtration. Only 245 bottles were drawn from this particular cask, making it one of the rarer releases in Hunter Laing's Islay portfolio.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Black pepper and caramel, combined with a hint of macerated red berries. A richness runs through it all, hinting at the long maturation.

    Palate

    Baked apples, nutmeg and a distinct hint of French oak. The cask strength gives a solid bite, but never overpowers the fruit.

    Finish

    Long and spiced, with a lingering oak warmth that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.

    Medium — this is the final edition in a now-completed and sought-after series from Hunter Laing, with only 245 bottles from a single cask bottled at cask strength. Being the youngest and most accessible bottling in the Kinship series, however, interest is somewhat more muted than for the series' older releases.

    Did you know?

    The Kinship series was created to celebrate Hunter Laing finally opening its own distillery, Ardnahoe, after decades as a pure independent bottler. Ardnahoe sits on Islay's north-east coast, overlooking the very distilleries many of the series' bottles come from.

  • Prestigious Bunnahabhain 33 Years Old bottle from Hunter Laing Kinship
    Item no.: 222555-45538

    Thirty-three years is a long time to sit still in a cask, and when Hunter Laing finally bottles it, they do so with the reverence the age deserves.

    Expert's Description

    Bunnahabhain 33 Years Old The Kinship 2023 is a Single Islay Malt Whisky from a refill bourbon hogshead, bottled at natural cask strength, 48.8%.

    The Kinship is Hunter Laing's prestigious series, honouring the Scotch whisky community and the regions that have made the country famous for its whisky. This 33 Years Old Bunnahabhain is bottled from a single cask in 2023, yielding just 292 bottles worldwide.

    The long maturation shows Bunnahabhain's ability to craft rich, refined whisky without smoke, where the distillery's clean house style and coastal setting come through beautifully. The nose offers tropical fruits like pineapple and lime, joined by red cherries and a faint floral note.

    On the palate the whisky unfolds with a fine balance between freshness and depth – the fruity notes continue with juicy citrus and ripe berries, while Bunnahabhain's signature maritime tones show through with a touch of sea salt.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Tropical fruits like pineapple and lime meet red cherries and a faint floral note.

    Palate

    Juicy citrus and ripe berries meet sea salt and a lightly oiled texture.

    Finish

    An elegant close of mild oak, spice and mineral complexity.

  • Caol Ila 2010 2023 Old Malt Cask 13 Years Hunter Laing Oloroso Sherry Butt bottle
    Item no.: 059763-615-677

    Caol Ila's peat smoke and the dried-fruit sweetness of a sherry butt pull in different directions – but they find each other. Hunter Laing selected this Oloroso sherry butt for the Old Malt Cask series, and after 13 years the result shows exactly what a well-matched cask marriage can produce.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2010/2023 Old Malt Cask 13 Years is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single Oloroso sherry butt, bottled at 50% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    Hunter Laing & Co. is one of Scotland's most respected independent whisky families, with roots in Glasgow since 1949. Old Malt Cask is the company's classic series – single casks, natural colour, always at 50%. This cask yielded 769 bottles, distilled in August 2010 and bottled in October 2023.

    Caol Ila on an Oloroso sherry butt is not the obvious choice – the distillery uses primarily bourbon casks for its official range. The sherry cask adds a layer of dried fruit and chocolate that softens the smoke and brings winey depth.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sherry-dried fruit – raisins and plums – meets Caol Ila's typical salty smoke. A hint of dark chocolate in the background.

    Palate

    Soft and full. Smoke is present but tamed by the sherry cask. Dried figs, cloves and salted-caramel sweetness make it complex without heaviness.

    Finish

    Moderately long. Smoke fades gently with dried fruit and a light touch of bitter dark chocolate at the end.

  • Caol Ila 33 Years The Kinship Series Hunter Laing single cask bourbon hogshead bottle 2023
    Item no.: 222555-45537

    Thirty-three years in a single cask. While Caol Ila has distilled and matured its well-known 12-year for Diageo's needs, this cask has waited – unseen and untouched – in a refill bourbon hogshead in a Scottish warehouse. Hunter Laing found it in 2023 for The Kinship: the series' most important bottling of the year.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 33 Years The Kinship Series Hunter Laing is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single refill bourbon hogshead, bottled at 44.5% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 300 bottles.

    The Kinship is Hunter Laing's prestige series – one expression per distillery, released once a year. For 2023, the choice fell on this 33-year Caol Ila, which according to Hunter Laing itself celebrates the Scottish whisky community and the regions that have made Scotland world-famous.

    Three decades in a refill bourbon hogshead give a Caol Ila that has changed: the smoke is there, but softened and integrated over time. This is not the young, salty Caol Ila – it is a mature, layered version of it.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Light peat smoke with caramel, stewed fruit and soft beeswax. A salty sea breeze that immediately sets the scene on Islay's coast – but in a slower, more reflective tone than young bottlings.

    Palate

    Soft and layered. Clear maritime saltiness, seaweed and fresh oysters. The smoke is discreet and elegantly integrated, with room for deeper notes of oak, dried fruit and medicinal herbs. A bottling to spend time with.

    Finish

    Long, leathery and satisfying. Worn leather, glowing peat embers and a persistent salty close that is in no hurry.

  • Glen Garioch 2008 Old Malt Cask bottle in dark glass with plain label
    Item no.: 22227865438-879212

    Old Malt Cask is the range where Hunter Laing always lands on 50%. Not because the number is magic, but because it leaves the cask room to speak without the strength taking over. Here it is a refill hogshead filled in October 2008.

    The expert's description

    Glen Garioch 2008/2022 Old Malt Cask 13 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill hogshead and bottled at 50%.

    The cask was filled in October 2008 and emptied in February 2022 after 13 years. A refill hogshead gives less wood than a 1st fill cask, and that is exactly why the dry, cereal-driven core of the Glen Garioch spirit stands out so clearly here. The bottling produced 352 bottles, non-chill filtered and with no added colour.

    Hunter Laing runs Old Malt Cask as the workhorse of its ranges. The company was carved out of Douglas Laing in 2013 when the brothers split the portfolio, and Stewart Laing took Old Malt Cask across to the new firm. Since then they have built Ardnahoe distillery on Islay.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dry apple fritters, malt and a hint of heather honey. Over the fruit sits a dusty, almost papery note you often meet in Glen Garioch from used casks.

    Palate

    Cereal and firm. Green apples, pear and pale caramel, with a peppery edge from the 50%. Not sweet, more taut and malt-driven.

    Finish

    Medium and dry. Malt, a little baked apple and a peppery warmth that lingers on the palate.

    Item no.: 059763-615-679

    Fifty-five percent of Glengoyne own range sits in sherry casks. Here Hunter Laing has done the opposite and left one refill butt alone for sixteen years.

    The expert's description

    Glengoyne 2007/2023 Old Malt Cask is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single refill butt, bottled at 50%.

    The whisky was distilled in June 2007 and bottled in October 2023 after sixteen years. The cask gave 677 bottles, which is a lot for a single cask — a butt holds around 500 litres against half that for a hogshead.

    Old Malt Cask is the oldest range from Hunter Laing and is always bottled at 50%. The whisky is non-chill filtered and of natural colour, so the strength is the only thing adjusted.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Malt, apple and light caramel with a dry nutty note. The refill cask has let the spirit stand forward.

    Palate

    Dry and malty with green apples, nuts and a hint of honey. The 50% gives bite, but the whisky is still bright in its expression.

    Finish

    Long and dry with malt, nuts and peppery oak.

    Some whiskies are about the community they're made to share. The Kinship series from Hunter Laing celebrates exactly that, and here you'll find a 27-year-old Highland Park left to mature quietly in a single cask until it was ready.

    Expert Description

    Highland Park 27 Years Old The Kinship 2023 is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky from a single refill hogshead, bottled non-chill filtered at natural cask strength 52.5%.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Baked pears and heather honey, with a calm, mature peat in the background.

    Palate

    Sweet with honey, mandarin and passion fruit, spiced with a hint of black pepper.

  • Scarabus Cigar Malt Edition Hunter Laing Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%
    Item no.: 222249-12235

    There's a bottle on Islay nobody will name a name for. Behind the bronze label with its hidden symbols sits a peated dram, born to mark the opening of Hunter Laing's own distillery, Ardnahoe. Scarabus means "a rocky place" in Old Norse - and that's about as much as the Laing family are willing to give away.

    Expert's Description

    Scarabus Cigar Malt is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, fully matured across Oloroso sherry casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and Ruby Port casks, and bottled at 46%.

    Scarabus Cigar Malt is the newest addition to Hunter Laing's Scarabus collection, and it stands apart from the other expressions through its cask composition. Where the original bottling sticks to a more classic maturation, Cigar Malt is matured simultaneously across three cask types - Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez and Ruby Port - each layering something different on top of the signature Islay peat. The source distillery is undisclosed, as is tradition across the whole Scarabus range, though the depth of the smoke and the oily texture hint at one of the island's better-known peated producers.

    The name Cigar Malt is no accident. The whisky is built to hold its own against a bold cigar without either one drowning the other out - cocoa, roasted notes and a persistent smokiness give it the weight for it.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Rich and generous with candied orange peel, stewed red berries and almonds, while an earthy peat works through underneath.

    Palate

    Dry peat smoke layers with dark treacle, dark fruit and a gentle, toasted sweetness from the casks.

    Finish

    Long and warming, with a rounded sweetness that lingers well after the last sip.

    Did You Know?

    The symbols on the Scarabus label are deliberately cryptic and draw on islander John Francis Campbell's invention, a sunshine recorder that tracked the hours of daylight on Islay - the same urge to measure the unmeasurable runs through the brand's whole "only those who seek shall find" philosophy.

About Hunter Laing

Hunter Laing & Co. is a classic name in the Scotch whisky trade, built for generations on bottling other people's casks rather than distilling their own. The family business holds substantial stocks of both young and old whisky from many different distilleries, giving them the freedom to shape the series they bring to market. For collectors, the name matters because so many releases are single cask – each cask its own story, its own label, its own limited bottle count – while beginners can use Hunter Laing as a shortcut to tasting distilleries rarely seen as standalone releases.

History & background

Hunter Laing & Co. was founded in 2013, when brothers Stewart and Scott Laing chose to split the old family firm Douglas Laing into two independent companies. The family's roots in the whisky trade go back much further, and over the years they've built a reputation as one of the great, well-respected independent bottlers. A major new chapter arrived in April 2019, when the family became distillers themselves with the opening of Ardnahoe Distillery on Islay – their first ever distillery, on the island's north-east coast.

Production & style

As a bottler, Hunter Laing doesn't distil in the traditional sense (aside from Ardnahoe), but instead selects, matures and bottles casks from a long list of Scottish distilleries. The firm regularly sends out sample bottles of its casks so international importers can pick the releases best suited to their market – a process that gives series like Old Malt Cask and The Sovereign their wide spread of styles and ages.

Signature style

Varied, authentic, single cask
No fixed flavour profile, but a guarantee of unfiltered distillery character – each cask shows the individual distillery raw and relatively untouched by heavy vatting.

Did you know?

Hunter Laing named their own distillery Ardnahoe after the small loch it sits beside – it's the easternmost of Islay's distilleries, looking straight across the sound to the neighbouring island of Jura.
