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!

Had a taste of Timorous beastie whisky in Edinburgh ..it had a lovely smooth taste ..what i call a good whisky ! Bought 2 bottles for presents for my family ..
Bought this off the back of the rave reviews and other blogs. Was a tad disappointed, not getting the sweetness or complexity here. Currently exploring other blends.
Highly recommended. A most enjoyable Malt Scotch Whisky.
Very good seeing as it is a blend of malts not a single one.
I picked up a bottle of this in pitlochry before a tour of Blair athol distillery. Got to say, in fairness I enjoyed this more than their 12 year old. Very smooth and inoffensive. I don't enjoy peat and this is entirely in the opposite direction from that so perfect for me really. Very fresh, crisp and enjoyable. For the price too at £29.99 a very nice bottle full of character. Also a fitting tribute to the timerous beastie and very much brought back childhood memories from the poem.
£4.90 - £42.00
