The Epicurean – Lowland Malt
Blended Malt Whisky made by Douglas Laing in Lowlands, Scotland
How It’s Made
The Epicurean is a blend of some of the finest Lowland Malts; a marriage of the best that the East and the West of Scotland have to offer. This small batch bottling is proudly without colouring or chill-filtration and bottled at 46.2% ABV. Zesty, fruity, fresh and vibrant, it's the life and soul of the party! For every litre of The Epicurean sold globally, £1 is donated to The Benevolent Society. The BEN Society delivers support to those who have committed 3+ years to working in Scotland’s licensed trade.
Tasting Notes
Nose: You can bet on a nose that is barley-rich, citric, floral and herbal. Palate: The mouth-coatingly sweet palate displays crunched sugar, burnt citrus, mixed spices, thyme, peaches and hard candy.
Finish: All charmingly underpinned and enriched in the finish with more of that earlier herbal character, in a gristy style with almonds, cut grass and burnt sugar.
Why We Like It
Meet The Epicurean – our 1930s Glasgow man, a real cheeky character who was ever the life and soul of the party and a connoisseur of fine food and drink. A master of versatility, this fresh, zesty, grassy marriage of the finest Lowland malts is perfect for cocktail hour or simply for sipping. Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions.
