Douglas Laing
Scotland
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!
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.
Dried fruits, green apples and anise. Sweet grist and malt loaf. Pebble beaches and more heather on the mid palate.
Long. Drying with hot cinnamon sweeties and fresh bread.
Who are you calling timorous? This beastie is big, brave and an absolute blast!
Superb dram from the Highlands - very well done!!
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.
Delightful sip. Bought in Kankakee, Illinois as a gift/house warming for my brother. We both enjoyed an evening's tipple and a good old chin wag. Thanks for the accompanying complex whiskey.
Love this stuff so much that when it's finally my time to go will be having my cremated ashes placed inside. I hope ? I am around to drink several cases more!
a sweet honeyed little number from the highland region - a great all-rounded malt that I really enjoyed and will certainly buy and enjoy again
