Girvan – 2002-2022 19 Year Old Douglas Laing Old Particular Single Cask DL16487 (70cl, 51.5%)

This is a 19-year-old single cask Girvan, a Lowland single grain whisky distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2022 by Douglas Laing for its Old Particular range. It comes in a 70cl bottle at 51.5% ABV. The whisky was matured in a single refill hogshead that yielded 230 bottles. Girvan is one of Scotland's last working grain whisky distilleries, and most of its production goes into owner William Grant's blends. Tasting notes mention treacle toffee, sponge pudding and pineapple chunks on the nose. The palate is creamy with caramel and honeyed cereal, balanced by tangy fruit, and the finish lingers with vanilla oak, peaches and dried fruits.
