The Epicurean Lowland Blended Malt Douglas Laing 46.2% vol. 0.05l

The whiskey for pleasure people (English The Epicurean)!

The whiskey for Highland poets, such as Robert Burns (his poem "To a mouse" is the namesake for this blended malt whiskey.

Scallywag Speyside Blended Malt Douglas Laing 46% vol. 0.05l

Finish: the vanilla is still present with spicy oak and again the sherry sweetness
The little thug of this series!
