Epicurean blended malt is made using a selection of single malt Scotch whiskies from Lowland distilleries which have all been aged for at least 12 years.

Ledaig is a heavily-peated single malt produced at the Tobermory distillery (in contrast with the non-peated Tobermory single malt). The two malts are produced using the same stills, wash backs, mash tuns and the same process water but the two are totally different in character due to the malted barley used.
