Douglas Laing & Co. The Epicurean 12 Year Old Lowland Blended Malt Scotch

The Epicurean 12 Years Old is a small-batch Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from Douglas Laing & Co., created by marrying selected single malt whiskies from across Scotland’s Lowland region. Every whisky in the marriage has been matured for at least 12 years, producing a more developed expression of The Epicurean’s fresh and vibrant Lowland style. Bottled at 46% ABV, without added colouring or chill filtration, it delivers honeyed barley, ripe stone fruit, citrus, toasted nuts and gentle spice.

Food Pairing: Lemon polenta cake, buttery shortbread, peach tart, toasted almonds, mild cheeses or vanilla-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: A refined and sweet Lowland malt with honeyed barley, candied citrus, ripe peaches, toasted nuts and gentle spice, developing into grassy and herbal notes.

Nose: Honeyed barley with candied citrus peel and toasted nuts.

Palate: Sweet and rounded with citrus zest, ripe peaches and a touch of warming spice.

Finish: Grassy and herbal with a gristy malt character, coconut flakes and lingering brown sugar.

Serve: Enjoy neat, with a small amount of water, or in a refreshing highball with premium ginger ale, ice, bitters and a lemon twist.
