Douglas Laing THE EPICUREAN Glasgow Limited Edition 2022 56,8% Vol. 0,7l in gift box

Description

Douglas Laing THE EPICUREAN Glasgow Limited Edition 2022 is a powerful special bottling that captures the urban character and vibrant culture of Glasgow in liquid form. As part of Douglas Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts series, the Epicurean epitomises the Lowlands – but this exclusive Glasgow edition specifically highlights the spirit of the city and brings it to the bottle with an exceptionally high alcohol content of 56.8% vol.

This limited edition has been bottled in cask strength, which means that it has not been chill-filtered or diluted – a real treat for connoisseurs who want to experience the full, unadulterated flavour of a true Lowland blended malt. Made from a selection of the finest single malts exclusively from the Scottish Lowlands, this whisky brings a clear, cereal freshness, complemented by citrus, floral nuances and a characterful spiciness.

The 2022 edition is a tribute to Glasgow’s rich history as a trading metropolis and cultural centre. The Epicurean itself – a stylised, retro-style gentleman figure – embodies the cosmopolitan, pleasure-oriented spirit of the city. With its high-quality gift packaging, this bottling is also ideal as a collector’s item or an exclusive gift for whisky enthusiasts.
