The Epicurean is Douglas Laing's Lowland blended malt — a vatting of Lowland single malts that showcases the lighter, more delicate side of Scotch whisky. At 46.2% without chill filtration, it has more body than typical Lowland bottlings at 40%.
The Lowland character is the appeal — fresh, floral, citrus-bright, with a lightness that makes it an excellent aperitif or warm-weather pour. The region is often overlooked in favour of bigger, bolder styles, and The Epicurean makes a compelling case for its gentle charms.
The Epicurean is a welcome champion for Lowland whisky. Douglas Laing's honest presentation and the rare regional focus create an affordable, accessible blended malt that demonstrates what Scotland's gentlest whisky region can offer.
