Timorous Beastie (5cl)

The Timorous Beastie is a Highlands blended malt by Douglas Laing. A blended malt and the brother of Big Peat (Islay) and Scallywag (Speyside). Only made from Highland single malts like Dalmore, Glen Garioch, Glengoyne and more. The name is a nod to a poem of Robert Burns, 'To a Mouse'. This is a 5cl miniature.

Nose: Acacia honey, boiled sweeties (the strawberry flavour), dried apricots and white grapes. There's a good whack of Sherry influence in here too! A whiff of coastal air and classic Highland heather, too

Palate: dried fruits, green apples and anise. Sweet grist and malt loaf, pebble beaches and more heather on the mid palate

Finish: long and drying with hot cinnamon sweeties and fresh bread
