The Epicurean Cognac Finish Limited Edition Launched

Douglas Laing & Co has launched a Cognac finished lowland malt Scotch whisky as part of The Epicurean Wood Series.

Following 2019’s Côte-Rôtie Cask Finish, this latest single cask release in The Epicurean’s Wood Series is bottled at a high alcohol strength of 48 percent, and is offered without chill-filtration. The 100 percent natural, golden colour of the spirit is imparted by the Cognac-seasoned single cask; used for maturing the award- winning Lowland Malt. The series reflects the significant impact cask can have on whisky.

With only two single casks of this specialist 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.

Packed in a premium gift tube, The Epicurean Cognac Finish Limited Edition is expected to be retailed at £59.99.
