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!

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.
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.
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...
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.
