The original Timorous Beastie, immortalised in Robert Burns’ famous Scots poem “To A Mouse”, was a timid little field mouse. Echoing our national bard’s wit, ours is most certainly not for the fainthearted! A marriage of only Highland Single Cask Single Malts, including those distilled at Strathearn, Glengoyne, Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Blair Athol distilleries, amongst others – he may be “Timorous by name” but he’s a BEASTIE by nature!
Nose: Overridingly sweet initially, then warming to floral, light barley and spicy honeyed tones.
Palate: 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.
