Douglas Laing
announce a limited edition Cognac
Finished expression of their
Epicurean blended malt whisky.
 Douglas Laing
has announced the
launch of a new limited release single
cask finished expression of their
Epicurean blended malt whisky, this time
the creative Glasgow based whisky maker
and bottler is offering whisky
enthusiasts something a little different
to The Epicurean expressions they would
have experienced to date, a Cognac
Finished expression which is being released as part
of The Epicurean Wood Series, a series
with which they seek to demonstrate the
significant impact the cask can have on
the final whisky.
The
Epicurean Cognac Finished blended malt
follows on from the 2019 release of the
French wine, Côte-Rôtie Cask Finish. This latest Single Cask release in The
Epicurean’s Wood Series is bottled at
what should be a flavoursome 48% ABV,
and as you expect from Douglas Laing is
offered without chill-filtration and is
100% naturally coloured.
Chris Leggat, Managing Director, led the
cask selection process and said: "After
many trials, blind tasting and careful
planning, the casks selected for this
experiment were the perfect
representation of a 5-star Cognac cask.
We’ve paired with our Epicurean Lowland
Malt Whisky to produce this resulting
limited edition: A rather exciting -
certainly distinguished - addition to
the family".
Director of Whisky in her family’s firm,
Cara Laing commented: "We continue to
seek to open up the world of Scotch
Whisky to new audiences and offer
innovative experiences – our Epicurean
Malt is best placed to do this. The core
expression is fresh and zesty yet very
light in style, accordingly the spirit
lends itself exceptionally well to
experimentation – be that in cocktails,
or indeed with unique cask finishes,
such as this latest release."
With only two Single Cognac Casks Finished of this blended malt released, the spirit is
said to have overriding tropical style
with lychee, fiery ginger, sandalwood
and coconut as a result of the finishing
in two specially selected French Cognac
casks.
The
Epicurean Cognac Finish Limited Edition
is expected to retail at £59.99. You will find
the Douglas Laing portfolio of whiskies
including The Epicurean whisky range
available from specialist
online whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of
Malt
