Tales of a Dying Earth by Jack Vance. I'm not into fantasy but I enjoyed it. The writer is very gifted. Maybe too humorous to be called epic?

The Black Guard by A.J. Smith is very well written. Maybe a bit humorous for your tastes?

Finally, The Night land by William Hope Hodgson. Kind of horror / sci-fi / fantasy, but extremely epic and you can get it free here on mobileread.

P.s. If you like Tolkien, I recommend Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's about rabbits, of all things, but apart from that, it is a classic epic quest and brilliantly written.

Pps. And the Sunset Warrior Trilogy by Eric Van Lustbader. Don't be put off by all the mediocre martial-arts books he wrote after. This trilogy is brilliant epic fantasy.
