Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie
Highland Blended Malt, 46.8% ABV
Joining the ranks of Big Peat and Scallywag is Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie, a blended malt made entirely of Highland whiskies from distilleries such as Dalmore, Glen Garioch, Glengoyne and more. The name is a nod to the Robert Burns poem ‘To a Mouse’ and to Burns’ wit, as though the mouse in the poem is a timid little thing, this whisky is nothing of the sort!
| NOSE | Acacia honey, creamy boiled sweeties (the strawberry flavour), dried apricots and white grapes. There’s a good whack of Sherry influence in here too! A whiff of coastal air and classic Highland heather, too. |
| PALATE | Dried fruits, green apples and anise. Sweet grist and malt loaf. Pebble beaches and more heather on the mid palate. |
| FINISH | Long. Drying with hot cinnamon sweeties and fresh bread. |
