A miniature of Timorous Beastie - a blended malt from Douglas Laing, using only Highland whiskies including Dalmore, Glengoyne and Glen Garioch.
The name is a meaningful 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! One for all whisky lovers!
Nose: Overridingly sweet on the nose, then warming to floral, light barley & spicy honeyed tones.
Palate: The palate opens in a spicy style – fructiferous, mellow, with sugary vanilla.
Finish: The finish is at first subtle, but runs to a sweet character that carries an oaky quality plus a late meringue style.
