Main highlights

Versatile – pure, on ice or in a cocktail. King of Scots always looks good.
PEATED - Douglas Laings Master Blender has selected exceptionally rich and sweet single grain whisky with an above-average proportion of the finest aged malt whisky from predominantly Islay distilleries for this peated edition of the King of Scots.
Complex flavours – a touch of peat smoke makes room for citrus peel and honeycombs with barley in the nose. Charred oak and dry soil on the palate, which are balanced by a caramel sweetness. The finish with smoke, campfire ash, allspice and vanilla lingers for a long time.
As natural as it gets: the company's philosophy is to fill the whisky as the distillery intended, with high alcohol strength and without cooling filtration to maintain the robust and unique character of the whiskey.
