The Epicurean White Port Finish – Douglas Laing Remarkable Regional Malts

The Epicurean White Port Finish is a cheerful and unexpected Lowland Blended Malt that blends the light-footed elegance of The Epicurean with a fruity twist from northern Portugal. After its initial maturation, it was finished in white port casks, adding juicy layers of white fruit, floral notes and subtle spice. The result is a refined, summery dram with a playful wink – perfect for a sunny afternoon or a characterful aperitif.
