About this whisky
Named after the famously shy field mouse in Robert Burns’ poetry, Timorous Beastie is anything but timid. This 10 Year Old, Release #1, is a bold Highland malt bursting with character, a dram that tiptoes in with charm and leaves a roaring impression. Aged to precision, it’s a celebration of Highland purity and Douglas Laing’s small batch mastery.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Profile
Nose: Honeyed and warm, with notes of malted barley, sugared citrus, and a soft floral touch that feels like spring in a glass.
Palate: Creamy and textured, with layers of vanilla fudge, baking spice, and a touch of dried apricot, a beautiful dance of sweetness and Highland spice.
Finish: Lingering and complex, oak and barley fade gently, with a subtle twist of ginger and nutmeg.
Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat to appreciate the layered sweetness and spice. A splash of water softens the citrus and teases out more oak complexity. Pairs exceptionally well with shortbread or a buttered crumpet.
