Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie
This non-coloured, non-chill-filtered Small Batch blended malt bottling is a marriage of appropriately aged and selected Highland Malts – including, amongst others, those distilled at Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Glengoyne distilleries.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. Bottled at 46.8% ABV.
Nose: Sweet honey, vanilla, and fresh barley with hints of citrus and soft spices.
Palate: Smooth and malty with flavors of creamy toffee, heather honey, cereal, and a touch of oak.
Finish: Medium-length with lingering notes of sweet malt, gentle spices, and a hint of fruit.
