Last night twitter was a wash with Whisky tasting notes of Douglas Laings new range, Remarkable Malts. The four Whiskies that make up the Remarkable Malts are:
Big Peat Islay Malt at 46% strength
Scallywag Speyside Malt at 46% strength
Timorous Beastie Highland Malt at 46.8% strength
Rock Oyster Island Malt at 46.8% strength
7pm on the dot the tasting was kicked off by Douglas Laing Global Malt Ambassador Jan Beckers. Below are my tasting notes from the night:
