這次調製Gold Rush的基底，我們選用了Douglas Laing Remarkable Regional Malt系列中的低地區(Lowland)威士忌：The Epicurean(大玩家)。
The Epicurean使用了低地產區的三間知名酒廠：Ailsa Bay、Glenkinchie、Auchentoshan來調和。
它秉承了Douglas Laing的一貫堅持——不添加焦糖色素，不經冷濾過濾，以天然風味完整呈現。其輕盈的口感和清澈乾淨的味道非常適合用以調製清新的Gold Rush。而它所具有的檸檬、柑橘清香和草本花香，更能和Gold Rush中所使用到的蜂蜜和檸檬汁巧妙融合，打造出更有層次感的風味和飽滿的口感。

調製方法：
將所有材料加冰裝入Shaker中搖勻冷卻，倒入ISO杯中，加上檸檬或柳丁切片作裝飾，就完成了。
可依照個人口味，對酸甜進行增減，更可加入發泡蛋白增添紮實口感。或加上一匙紅酒，為這款調酒增添更有趣滋味。

Gold Rush

Among the many cocktail recipes, Whisky Sour may be the first drink for beginners, and Gold Rush is a modern take on the classic Whisky Sour using honey syrup instead.

Let's get to know this modern classic.

Material:
*The Epicurean 50ml
* Lemon juice 30 ml
*Barr Hill Raw Honey

This time, we are using The Epicurean as the base for Gold Rush, which is a Lowland whisky from the Douglas Laing Remarkable Regional Malt series.
The Epicurean uses whiskies from three of the most well-known distilleries in Lowland region: Ailsa Bay, Glenkinchie and Auchentoshan to blend.
It adheres to Douglas Laing's constant persistence - no caramel coloring, no cold filtration, and entirely natural flavor. Its light and clean mouthfeel, lemon and citrus fragrance, and herbal and floral aroma are perfect for the making a refreshing Gold Rush.

Add all the ingredients to a Cocktail Shaker with ice, shake until very cold. Don’t have a cocktail shaker? Use a mason jar with a cover instead.
Strain the drink into an ISO cup, and garnish with a slice of tangerine or a lemon wedge.
The balance of sweet and sour flavors can be adjusted according to your own preference. Egg white foam can be added to introduce a firm texture. You can also put in a spoonful of red wine to add more fun to this mix.
