Timorous Beastie 46.8% - Douglas Laing 700ml

Timorous Beastie 46.8% -  Douglas Laing 700ml

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!

TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Fresh and appley, with barley (malted and not), sweet butter and lemon. Some sour apple and sweet pear drop sneak in around the sides.
PALATE: Oily, with more butter and candied fruit. Some icing sugar and buttercream sweetness appear, with darkly sweet raisins and soft brown sugar.

FINISH: Gentle spice, a pinch of orchard fruit and some dark sugar notes.

Alc: 46.8%
