King of Scots Blended Scotch. Image courtesy Douglas Laing & Co. This Blended Scotch from Douglas Laing has a light, aromatic nose with notes of anise, straw, grass, lemon pepper, and subtle hints of red apples and grapes in the background. The taste starts off with honey and peach nectar, along with a slowly-building lemon pepper spice that never overwhelms and hints of red apples and ginger. The finish is light, subtle, and lingering.
