Left undisturbed for 23 years, the refill hogshead acted as a perfect filter—it didn't overwhelm the liquid with heavy vanilla wood sugars. Instead, it slowly tempered the spirit's wild, maritime, and oily new-make edges over nearly a quarter-century. It hit the bottling line at the exact intersection where coastal distillery character and mature oak spices achieve absolute harmony, making it a spectacular example of what makes island single malts so uniquely captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chameleon Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54382964146451,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/9383\/1699\/files\/DauglasLaingWhiskySampleTobermory199623YearOldOldParticular2020Release.jpg?v=1783347047","url":"https:\/\/chameleonwhisky.com\/products\/dauglas-laing-whisky-sample-tobermory-1996-23-year-old-old-particular-2020-release-30ml-46-7","provider":"Chameleon Whisky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
