Bottled by Hunter Laing

Hunter Laing is a Glasgow independent bottler formed in 2013, when the Laing family split its business, and it owns the Ardnahoe distillery on Islay. This page lists the Hunter Laing bottlings we track, from ranges such as Old Malt Cask, The First Editions and The Kinship.

These are mostly single cask releases, so stock churns: a cask sells through and is gone, and at times this page may show few bottles in stock. The company’s own distillery is Ardnahoe on Islay’s north-east coast, founded in 2017.

Which distillery does Hunter Laing own?
Ardnahoe, on the north-east coast of Islay, built from 2017 and distilling since 2018. It is the company’s own distillery, making Islay single malt, and its own bottles are distillery releases rather than independent bottlings. Hunter Laing’s bottlings of other distilleries carry range names such as Old Malt Cask and The First Editions.
