Strathearn Highland Single Malt Inaugural Release 50% ABV

Strathearn is a new distillery in Perthshire in the Highland Region. The distillery opened its doors in 2013, then purchased by the independent bottler Douglas Laing in 2019. This is the inaugural release of its single-malt.

The whisky is made from distillations between 6 and 8 years old before Douglas Laing's purchase and a smaller portion from later ones under the new owners. 32 casks have been produced, comprising ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and virgin oak.  

Judging by this first release, we will continue to follow this distillery. We love its malty, refined character and fruity twist.
