@havardg mmm maybe this could be the bottle you received... masterofmalt.com/whiskies/… anyway let us know how the marriage works!

@lucadanna1985 - thanks. I went down to the basement and got the bottle to be sure - and it appears to be the same whiskey that you sent med the link for, but with a different name. After a little googling I discovered that my version seems to be espseially made for Thomas Cook - and now also for the Skandinavian market. See the similarities: se.airshoppen.com/produkter/…

@havardg very interesting stuff, I didn't know there was a special edition...what about the whisky? are you planning to drink it or to collect?

@lucadanna1985 - oh I drink all my whiskey :) but I try not to finish the bottles, so that I always have some left for later. I still don't know how to registrer it in my cabinet though. Scottish single? Scottish Blend? Indipendent destillaries? I can't find Douglas Laing anywhere in the lists.

@havardg it should be a vatted malt, but the team will soon solve the problem! :)

@lucadanna1985 Actually, 'vatted malt' is a term that is no longer allowed. This is a blended malt. Since Douglas Laing is the bottles, it should be registered under Independent Bottlers. This is part of a series 'Double Barrel', a marriage of always to single casks. These are - as far as I'm aware - the other current releases: 'Ardbeg & Glenrothes', 'Caol Ila & Braeval', 'Highland Park & Bowmore'.

@markjedi1 thank you! We should create the label "double malt" for these expressions :) IMHO they're much more than usual blends!

@lucadanna1985 I never said they were mere 'usual blends'! I know this is just semantics, but this is a blended malt, to be taken litteraly : a blend of malt whiskies. With 'a usual blend' as you put it, you probably refer to the blended whiskies that not only contain several core (single) malts, but also grain whiskies. Examples are Famous Grouse, J&B, Johnnie Walker, etc...

@markjedi1 I meant that even if compared with usual blended malts (I have for example a Ballantine's pure malt) these "experiments" made up of only two great distilleries still have something special, but it was only a pun! :)

@markjedi1 Thank you. I'll registrer it under independent bottlers. And I will most likely try those other ones that you listed.
