I will be reviewing all of the core expression of Douglas Laing Blended Whiskies, absolutely the most fun and good looking bottles in the market. I'll start with the most simple one: the epicurean. The story about this epicurean guy that is shown in the bottle is that he was a 1930 person who like the best of food and drinks. This is a blend from lowland malts... pretty interesting. Bottled at 46.2%abv. On the nose: Dry orange cake. Chantilly cream. Raisins. Tobacco. On the palate: very bitter, tobbaco notes and some citric lime notes. Finish medium long, with a very pleasant ginger note. Overall i give this dram a 78 over 100, it is an easy drink even for 46.2%abv. I Love the bottle. Slainte!
