This isn’t your average Lowland dram. The Epicurean 12 Year Old is a crisp, citrus-laced malt with twelve years of quiet complexity bottled in bold style. A limited release from Douglas Laing’s celebrated regional series, it’s bright, refined, and built for those who like their whisky as fresh as it is elegant.

Brand: Douglas Laing | Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
ABV: 46% | Origin: Lowlands, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Lemon zest, fresh herbs, white grapes, and malt biscuits, like a spring morning in a glass.
Palate: Light and zesty. Green apple, citrus oils, vanilla pods, and barley sugar glide across a silky, refreshing body.
Finish: Clean, crisp, and floral. Fades with a soft echo of ginger, pear, and sweet oak.

Production Details
Made from a blend of aged Lowland single malts, all matured for at least 12 years. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and without added color. This limited edition amplifies the signature brightness of The Epicurean, offering more depth, finesse, and lasting charm.

Perfect For
Early evening aperitifs, warm-weather sipping, or anyone looking for a lighter dram with real age and character. It’s also a phenomenal introduction to the complexity Lowland malts can offer.

Expert Notes
The 12 Year Old shows what careful maturation can do to a light style. More layered than the core Epicurean, it brings orchard fruit, barley crispness, and vanilla warmth into perfect balance, without losing its refreshing spirit.

Customer Reviews

Interesting Fact
The Epicurean is based on a real character from 1930s Glasgow, a high-society food and drink connoisseur who lived for the finer things. This 12 year edition embodies that same sharp wit and charm.

Serving Suggestions
Neat or slightly chilled to sharpen the citrus. Add a splash of soda for a clean highball, or pair it with soft cheeses, seafood, or lemon tarts for a refined afternoon pairing.
