Douglas Laing's Timorous Beastie, immortalised in Robert Burns' famous Scots poem "To a Mouse", was a timid, little field mouse. Echoing our national bard's wit, this whisky is most certainly not for the fainthearted!

This non coloured, non-chill-filtered Small Batch bottling is a marriage of appropriately aged and selected Highland Malts - including, amongst others, those distilled at Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Glengoyne distilleries.

Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions.

Top Tip from Douglas Laing: Try pairing your next cheese board with a dram of Timorous Beastie. The salty, creamy character of the cheese will cut through the sugary sweetness of this honeyed Highlander for an indulgent, melt-in-the-mouth combination.

ABV 46.8%

70cl

Net weight: 1.6kg

Tasting Notes

Nose: Overridingly sweet on the nose, then warming to floral, light barley & spicy honeyed tones.

Taste: Opens in a spicy style with fructiferous notes of raisin and a sugary, fudgey character.

Finish: Subtle yet sweet with a real oaky flavour, hints of milky cereals and late meringue.

The Perfect Serve

An Old Fashioned

Place a teaspoonful of sugar in a mixing glass with 2 dashes of bitters, 2.5cl of Timorous Beastie and an orange peel. Stir well to dissolve all the sugar. Strain your cocktail into a rocks glass filled with ice and top with a further 2.5cl of Timorous Beastie. Garnish with orange peel and a cherry.
