Douglas Laing
announce the release of the latest
edition to The Epicurean’s innovative
Wood Series, The Epicurean Amarone Wine
Cask Finish Limited Edition.
 Glasgow
based whisky maker and bottler Douglas
Laing today released the next limited
edition instalment in their The
Epicurean Lowland region Scotch blended
malt whisky Wood Series', The Epicurean
Amarone Wine Cask Finish.
The Epicurean Amarone Wine Cask Finish
is the seventh Single Cask release in
the specialist 'Wood Series' and as you
would expect from Douglas Laing it is
bottled at what should be a flavoursome
high alcohol strength of 48% ABV and is
offered without colouring or
chill-filtration.
This innovative Wood Series collection
already encompasses a Tawny Port Finish
and a White Port Finish, amongst others,
and seeks to demonstrate that flavour is
created throughout the Whisky-making
process but most significantly during
the interaction between the spirit and
the wood when it is in the oak cask.
This latest edition is said to be
"Full-bodied with waves of dark
chocolate, ripe cherries and a
sensational spiciness".
In crafting The Epicurean Limited
Edition, the Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky
is first matured in premium American Oak
before being re-racked into a single,
hand selected Amarone cask for a second
maturation period of two years.
The Amarone cask itself originates from
the renowned Italian region of
Valpolicella, a highly regarded area
situated in the North-East of the
country that’s known the world over for
its quality Amarone wine production.
Scott Morrison, The Epicurean’s Brand
Manager commented: "The ethos behind our
Epicurean brand is that of enjoying the
finer things in life, and this is
exactly what our innovative Wood Series
encapsulates. Renowned as the master of
versatility, our Epicurious gent’s
wonderfully fresh and vibrant Lowland
character lends itself beautifully to
experimentation with different wood
finishes, allowing us to create
something truly special with each
release. The cask and the Whisky add
their own unique personalities and with
this Amarone finish, the outcome is a
balanced marriage of cask and spirit
character – we are delighted with the
result."
The
Epicurean Amarone Wine Cask Finish is
presented in a premium gift tube and has
a RRP of £65 and will
be
available from
specialist online whisky shops such as
The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
