Edinburgh
bartenders collaborate with Douglas
Laing to select a blend of Lowland
single malt whiskies to create The Epicurean Cask Strength Edinburgh
Edition.
 Independent Glasgow based whisky
company Douglas Laing has
unveiled a new limited release addition
to their Epicurean Lowland blended malt
whisky range, The Epicurean Cask
Strength Edinburgh
Edition.
It seems they have headed east
down the M8 motorway to Scotland's
capital city to collaborate with some of
Edinburgh’s finest bartenders and spirit
experts to create this latest expression
of their popular Lowland blended malt.
The unique "recipe"
for the special bottling is the result
of a one-off event which was held at
leading bar "Nauticus" in Edinburgh,
during which the VIP attendees
(Edinburgh’s finest bartenders and
spirit experts) masterfully married together various
samples of Single Cask Single Malt
Whiskies from the Lowlands with the aim
of creating a perfectly balanced end
product with depth and character. Each
unique blend of Single Malts was then
judged with the winning recipe becoming
this limited edition release of just 600
bottles. A blind tasting by Douglas
Laing’s Chairman, Fred Laing, saw
Lindsay Blair of 56 North crowned the
winner.
The resulting Whisky is said to burst
with lively green fruits, sweet barley
and tangy citrus with just a touch of
spice. Bottled at 53.3% alcohol strength
and offered without colouring or
chill-filtration, its high strength is
said to ensure the natural robust
character of the capital city spirit
shines through – even when mixed.
Cara Laing, DL's Director of Whisky, commented
on the new release, saying: "The
Epicurean’s Cask Strength Edinburgh
Edition celebrates our Capital City and
its impressive array of bars and spirit
experts. With summer just around the
corner, this is perfect timing to
release this fresh and zesty Lowland
Malt. We’d recommend enjoying it
straight-up or long with ginger ale or
apple juice to further enhance those
tangy, slightly spicy sweet flavours."
If you fancy one of the 600 bottles of
the
The Epicurean Cask Strength Edinburgh
Edition it has a RRP of £49.99 and will
be available from specialist online
whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of
Malt
