Meet The Epicurean - the life of the party, the charmer at the dinner table, the raconteur who can move effortlessly from a zesty highball to a contemplative evening dram. He has always been the Master of Versatility: equally at home in a cocktail, served neat, or however you choose to enjoy him. But now, he raises the bar even higher.
Introducing The Epicurean Three Wood Edition: a remarkable Lowland Malt that showcases his talent for reinvention and his flair for flavour. This isn’t just Whisky - it’s an adventure in wood, a celebration of cask artistry that takes us on a journey through three exceptional finishes.
Virgin Oak: The Bold Opening Act
First up, Virgin Oak. New, untouched, and brimming with energy, these casks impart bold, spicy notes that dance across the tongue. They give our Epicurean his fearless spirit and lively charisma - the spark that sets the stage and commands attention from the very first sip.
Bourbon: The Smooth Talker
Then comes Bourbon. Ever the smooth talker and eternal crowd-pleaser, Bourbon casks bring soft waves of vanilla cream and honey’d sweetness. They lend a welcoming warmth and mellow richness, wrapping the palate in silky layers like a well-told story shared among friends.
Sherry: The Decadent Finale
Finally, Sherry steps into the spotlight. Deep, dark, and deliciously decadent, Sherry casks deliver lush fruitiness and nutty complexity. They add the depth, the intrigue, the velvet finish that keeps you coming back for another pour - or perhaps a second bottle.
A Symphony of Flavours
Married together, these three cask types create a Whisky that is more than the sum of its parts - a true testament to The Epicurean’s versatility and ingenuity.
On the nose, expect bright citrus, vanilla cream, and toasted oak, all balanced with honey’d sweetness and whispers of dried fruit. The palate is rich and layered: vanilla and baking spice lead the way, followed by baked apple and golden syrup, with that unmistakable Sherry warmth adding depth and sophistication. The finish is long, smooth, and gently spiced, leaving echoes of toffee, dark fruits, and soft oak dryness that linger like a fond memory.
Bottled Brilliance
Bottled at a robust natural cask strength of 54.1% ABV, and naturally, there’s no colouring or chill-filtration; every drop is as pure and honest as The Epicurean himself.
The Master of Versatility Shines Again
The Epicurean Three Wood Edition is more than a Whisky - it’s an invitation to explore, to celebrate, and to revel in the art of transformation. After all, when you’re the Master of Versatility, there’s always another side waiting to be discovered.
Available now. But hurry - a Whisky this charismatic won’t stay on the shelf for long.
