- Description
- The Epicurean blends only Lowland single malts, then finishes the composition in Cognac casks to create this limited 48% ABV release from Douglas Laing. The light, grassy base of Lowland malts finds complementary richness in Cognac oak, yielding orchard fruit, dried stone fruit, and subtle vanilla notes. The cask finish adds textural weight and warming spice on the finish. Suits those who prefer delicate whisky elevated by wine-cask influence.
