Douglas Laing’s The Epicurean Lowland Blended Malt [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland blended malt that breaks all the traditional rules with tropical flair and urban sophistication?

Douglas Laing’s The Epicurean represents a bold departure from typical Lowland expectations, delivering tropical complexity that rivals our popular Big Peat Islay expressions. This city-bred blended malt combines carefully selected single malts from Scotland’s Lowland region, creating a vibrant profile that’s anything but gentle. Unlike the aged complexity of 12-year expressions, The Epicurean showcases youthful exuberance with remarkable depth.
