Douglas Laing is playing the role of Santa Claus this season, just stopping short of showering us with amazing whiskies for free. We're talking about a collection of six XOP brand bottles worth a whopping £21,400. Simply unprecedented!

What is Douglas Laing XOP?
XOP (Xtra Old Particular) is the premium line from Douglas Laing, featuring exceptionally old and rare single cask whiskies.

How is an XOP whisky selected?
Every bottle originates from a carefully selected cask that receives the personal approval of the Laing family.

Are XOP whiskies limited?
Yes, they are bottled in very limited quantities. Often, only a few dozen bottles worldwide.

Which whiskies are included in the outgoing XOP collection?

It is a 'once-in-a-lifetime showcase of age, origin, and craftsmanship'. The collection of whiskies being given away includes the following:

The Macallan 35 Years Old

Port Dundas 45 Years Old

Speyside's Finest 55 Years Old

Port Ellen 40 Years Old

Cameronbridge 45 Years Old

Blair Athol 30 Years Old

Not only do these whiskies offer significant age, but they also come presented in a handcrafted crystal decanter by Richard Brendon. This also includes a glass and coaster.

How can you win this unique set of whisky bottles?

All you need to do for a chance to own this set is to purchase a lottery ticket for £10. The collection will be raffled off among all participants who buy a ticket.

When does the Douglas Laing whisky promotion end?

Naturally, you would want to know how many tickets are available in total. That number is 2140. As Douglas Laing themselves put it: 'Opportunities like this don't come around often - and someone has got to win.'

The contest runs until midnight on December 8, unless the tickets sell out sooner.

It's a playful initiative by Douglas Laing to make a unique set accessible even for those who aren't filthy rich. The set itself will go for nothing less. The value is, after all, £21,400 - precisely the sum generated, assuming all tickets sell out.
