The First Editions Scotch - very limited releases

The First Editions Scotch

With a tasting panel of just two, we make no apology for the First Editions range being a very personal selection.” -Andrew Laing

Hunter Laing Company, founded in 2010 by Andrew and Scott Laing. The origins of the company are rooted in the decades they have spent growing up in and around the Scotch whisky industry. It’s thru their father, Stewart Laing (Douglas Laing & Co) that they have learned the respect and passion for the spirit.

With a label inspired by the classic elegance of an antique manuscript, the First Editions brand is the mark of quality which appears across the core range of single-cask bottling of various single malt whisky.

The First Editions range we bottle single casks from our maturing stocks of casks from distilleries across Scotland’s whisky producing regions. Whilst these stocks consist of very young spirit through to extremely old malts and grains, we tend to prefer whiskies of around 18-30 years old.

Although, the backbone of the First Editions brand is normally elegant, older, gentle Speyside whiskies, we appreciate and enjoy the spirit in all its forms. Therefore, we are pleased to offer some of the best of casks from distilleries across all of Scotland’s regions. Among our selection are big names like Port Ellen or Macallan, followed by lesser known distilleries like Linkwood or Mortlach. The First Editions range of single malts is an offering that can satisfy even the most discriminating single malt connoisseur!

Always mindful of the benefits of a whisky being from just one cask, we will bottle it when we feel it is at its best for drinking rather than being influenced by “round” ages such as 18, or 25 years old. The First Editions bottling is always at cask-strength and, naturally, without artificial coloring or chill-filtration.
