Product details

Strathearn was founded in 2013, earlier than most ‘craft’ minded young distilleries, helping blaze the small scale (it’s tiny), traditional, experimental trail, where flavour is a higher priority than yield. Popular independent botters Douglas Laing then purchased Strathearn in 2019, entering the world of distilling themselves for the first time. They’ve doubled down on the distillery’s use of heritage varieties of barley – namely Marris Otter, prized in brewing for its flavour and body (as opposed to efficiency) – and long fermentations (144 hours).

Last June we brought you Strathearn’s “inaugural” release, drawn from casks laid down by both Douglas Laing and the previous owners. Batch 02 uses the same cask types (bourbon, fresh oak, sherry), but this time more bourbon casks are in the mix and the fresh oak is dialled back for a more naturally creamy and fresh dram.
