Douglas Laing’s The Epicurean Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky tells the story of a 1930s Glasgow man, a real cheeky chappy who was ever the life and soul of the party, and a real connoisseur of fine food and drink. A dram we describe as “city born and bred”, 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. The Epicurean Amarone Cask Finish Limited Edition is a brand-new release in Douglas Laing’s Epicurean “Wood Finish” series. In the passionate belief that the cask can give the spirit up to 70% of its flavour, this limited edition Wood Series has seen Douglas Laing’s tirelessly journey the globe, searching for the finest casks to finish our Epicurean spirit in… After initially maturing in traditional oak casks over a number of years, the spirit has been finished in a hand-selected, Single Amarone Wine Cask from the Valpolicella Region in Northern Italy. Anticipate an explosion of spices on the nose and hints of tropical sweetness. The palate delivers those ginger and nutmeg notes, coupled with milk chocolate and running to a tangy raspberry finish. |
