DOUGLAS McGIBBON was formed in 1950 by Fred Douglas Laing, Father of the current 2 Joint Managing Directors, Fred and Stewart Laing. His Father, in turn, had been employed within the Scotch Whisky industry and with a thorough knowledge, background and love of the Golden Nectar, Mr Laing felt the time was right to invest in his own knowledge and experience. His earlier marriage to Morag, daughter of Douglas McGibbon, was also appropriate, insofar as her grandfather had been Stillman at one of the finest of the Islay distilleries. It was after this fine old gentleman (“Auld Douglas”) that the Company and consequent blends and Malt Whiskies was named, and it is his signature which now authenticates and appears on the packaging.
