First Impressions
The Epicurean is the gentlest of Douglas Laing's regional bottlings — a Lowland blended malt designed to showcase the soft, grassy character of Scotland's southernmost whisky region.
Distillery & Heritage
Named after the historic Edwardian-era foodie magazines that flourished in Glasgow and Edinburgh, The Epicurean celebrates the cultured palates of Lowland Scotland. Fred Laing assembled the blend from select Lowland single malts — almost certainly including Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie components.
Tasting Notes in Detail
This is whisky for sunny afternoons. The nose drifts up with lemon zest, fresh pastry and floral notes. The palate delivers silken texture, honeyed cereal sweetness and that characteristic Lowland gentleness.
Verdict
An ideal introduction to Lowland malts.
