Timorous Beastie Whisky
Customer Rating
“Nothing timorous but quite a lot of (nice) beastie. Gentle and eat to drink but with lots of tastes that linger in the curiosity. A good drink to pass round the table with people who think they don't like whiskey! Bige taste, imo, than Scallywag. ”
Shelia Rosenthal
Description
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 Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
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.
Overall
Who are you calling timorous? This beastie is big, brave and an absolute blast!
