Douglas Laing & Co. has unveiled The Epicurean Three Wood Finish where Virgin Oak, Ex-Bourbon and Sherry Casks converge to deliver depth and complexity.

The Epicurean Three Wood FinishDouglas Laing & Co. has unveiled the latest limited release expression of their Epicurean Scotch Lowland blended malt whisky, The Epicurean Three Wood Finish – a tribute to the art of cask maturation and the vibrant character of the Lowlands. Bottled at its natural cask strength of 54.1% and limited to just 1,920 bottles, this Small Batch release adds to The Epicurean’s reputation as a Master of Versatility.

In this expression, three distinct cask types converge to deliver depth and complexity:
  • Virgin Oak lends bold spice and toasted, woody richness.
     
  • Ex-Bourbon barrels bring silky layers of vanilla and honeyed sweetness.
     
  • Sherry casks infuse luscious fruit tones and a soft, warming finish.

The result? They say is a perfectly balanced Lowland Malt that is as intricate as it is inviting.

Presented with an elegant foiled label, this non-chill-filtered and natural-colour bottling exemplifies The Epicurean’s unwavering commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship.

The Epicurean Three Wood Finish is said to be a vibrant celebration of wood’s transformative power in Whisky – and a testament to the boundless versatility that defines The Epicurean.

Chloe Wood, Brand Manager commented: "Our belief is that flavour is shaped throughout the Whisky-making journey, but it is in maturation where it truly comes to life. The Epicurean Three Wood Finish is a testament to this, with layers of richness, spice, and sweetness intertwining to create a wonderfully versatile Lowland Malt. This limited-edition release showcases the art of wood and Whisky in perfect harmony, reinforcing The Epicurean’s reputation as the Master of Versatility."
