Timorous Beastie

(70cl, 46.8%)

Timorous Beastie

Unfortunately, we can't ship Timorous Beastie to the United States at the moment, but we've got some friends who can.

Timorous Beastie Bottling Note

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!

Timorous Beastie Reviews

Excellence bottled

This converted me to blended malt whisky. Such a great quality dram

Wow

Great dram at that price point. A touch of water with mine

Robert Burns

The ultimate Burns Whisky... What a dram and a great price for an incredible drop. This is a great example of why a good blended malt is better than a good single malt!

Chivas Regal???

Personally, I thought i was drinking Chivas Regal which makes this a little pricey for the quality and comparason to CR. Ok neat, great in a whisky coctail.

Definitely not timorous

Admittedly I’m not a seasoned Scotch drinker but I found this a bit harsh. Smells interesting but lost some of that nuance under all the alcohol. Definitely improves with water but maybe just a bit young for something so strong.

Sweet, floral and dry

I forgot I even had it until I packed to move...I must admit I prefer the Rock Oyster and Big Peat more.
That said, I really have not given this a chance...
Here goes...a very floral and sweet dram with a touch of salt for me..a dry finish..
The truth is I want it to taste much different from the other regions and I just need to give this bottle some time..
It is solid enough and I like it very much...The price is fair, ABV is damn fine and the no color or chill filtration is a big plus for me.
The truth is I usually drink better whiskies with age statements of at least 12 and usually 14-18 range.
So, no complaints...
A 3 is about an 80 to me...

An average drink, VFM

At this price range, I did not expect much. But to be honest, there was no 'sherry influence'. I could only find the fresh scent of salty air in the mid-taste. I like the long and kind of ash finish.
An average drink for a regular sipping experience.

This is completely inoffensive and completely unremarkable. A little heavy on the floral notes but not enough to cause a stir.

A Highland Malt with real charm

Superb dram from the Highlands - very well done!!

16th March 2021

Disappointing.

I'm not getting much apart from sweetness. Even a drop of water to lower the ABV doesn't improve it. I expected much more.
