Port Finish
The Epicurean from Douglas Laing is a blended malt made with whiskies from the Lowlands, and the independent bottler seems to have discovered that rather suits being finished in various types of European wine casks. This time, it's tawny Port's turn! Expect delicious fruity elements up front, joined by fragrant malt and oak along the way.
Crisp pear and green apple, with a hint of gooseberry too. Some cooked red fruit sweetness develops later on.
Chocolatey at first, before creamy caramel and honeycomb take the spotlight. Still packed with juicy fruit notes.
Warming cedar and caraway spice on the finish.
Marvellously moreish
