About Hunter Laing Bottler

Hunter Laing is an independent bottling company founded in 2013 by Stewart Laing and his sons Andrew and Scott, following a family split with Stewart's brother, Fred Laing. Heirs to the expertise of Douglas Laing, founded just after the Second World War, they have created a cutting-edge range of malt and grain whiskies with collections such as Old Malt Cask, Sovereign, and Hepburn's Choice. Hunter Laing continues its expansion with the creation of the Ardnahoe distillery on the Isle of Islay, whose first cask was filled in 2018. The company is distinguished by its artisanal approach, rigorous cask selection, and a desire to showcase Scottish terroirs. Islay Journey is one of their signatures, designed as an invitation to travel to the salty, peaty world of the legendary Isle of Islay.
