Hunter Laing Authors’ Series
Each Authors’ Series release is dedicated to a particular figure in literature, featuring a photograph or drawing of them on the front label and a paragraph detailing their history on the back. The wax-sealed, decanter-like bottles are presented in a handsome hinged gift box and the whiskies themselves are selected by Andrew Laing as especially rich and complex casks from distilleries across Scotland.

Springbank 1997 Authors’ Series – Oscar Wilde
Intense notes of sherry-maturation are immediately apparent on the nose, with raisins, plums and oranges combing with a wonderful wood polish/old library note.

A nose of vanilla custard, apricots, barley sugar and the sweetest of oak. A malty, mouth-filling dram with caramel, apple crumble and a touch of honey, leading into a long, sweet, satisfying finish. Aged 25 years and bottled at 53.3% ABV
Tormore 1998 Authors’ Series – Charles Baudelaire
