Producer Description
"Indulge in the rare allure of this Epicurean Limited Edition where the floral Lowland Malts of Scotland meet the orchard notes of Calvados, from the Normandy region of Northern France. By artfully finishing The Epicurean in the finest Calvados casks, we elevate the already fresh, vibrant and citrusy flavour profile to new heights."
The Epicurean Lowland Blended Malt
$72.99
A Lowland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled at 46.2%. Presumably a marriage of Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie.
First introduced in 2016, The Epicurean is a Blended Malt Scotch Whisky that focuses on the Lowlands both style-wise and for the component malts used. The Epicurean is a reference to the character on the bottle itself, which looks like some sort of amalgamated caricature of Rich Uncle Pennybags from the Monopoly board game, Leonardo DiCaprio's character from The Great Gatsby, and Fred Laing Jr and his carefully managed mustache itself.
Producer Description
"Meet The Epicurean – our 1930s Glasgow man, a real cheeky character who was ever the life and soul of the party and a connoisseur of fine food and drink. A master of versatility, this fresh, zesty, grassy marriage of the finest Lowland malts is perfect for cocktail hour or simply for sipping. Encompassing the great cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the historic Kingdom of Fife, Malts from the Lowland region are celebrated for their sweet, grassy notes and gentle style. The Epicurean is a remarkable encapsulation of that archetypal Lowland style in one charming bottle."
