From one of Scotland's smallest distilleries comes one of the country's mightiest Malts. Prioritising flavour over alcohol yield, Strathearn is one of, if not the only distillery to still use Maris Otter Malt, which produces a deliciously creamy, malty new-make spirit. Crafted to perfection, our spirit is matured in the finest casks, from which it takes on an immensely rich and refined flavour, from small acorns...
Located in Highland Perthshire, an area with a rich Whisky distilling heritage owing to its spectacular landscape and freshwater lochs, Strathearn Distillery is sited on the outskirts of Perth, the first capital of Scotland, close to where Scottish kings were traditionally crowned on the legendary stone of destiny. A fitting location for a distillery producing a Single Malt Scotch Whisky of the utmost quality, refinement and character.

Something rather exciting here, the inaugural release of Douglas Laing's Strathearn Single Malt marks the legendary independent bottler's graduation into the realm of distilling!
Douglas Laing acquired the Perthshire-based Strathearn distillery in 2019 and with a small team, set to work on re-launching the brand, and the creation of this, its first single malt. The whisky was drawn from a selection of 32 bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks, combining older spirit inherited with the acquisition of the distillery, and a portion of younger spirit distilled under the new ownership, overseen by lead distiller Angela Brown. Boasting a satisfying ABV of 50%, and housed in a handsome acorn-shaped bottle, this release declares the house style that Douglas Lain aims to produce at Strathearn, and it's an exciting sign of what's to come from the rejuvenated Highland distillery.
