Douglas Laing's Timorous Beastie Finished in Madeira Casks The Cheese Cellar Collection Highland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky ABV 48% Vol 70cl / 700ml

Expect the unexpected with this unique Timorous Beastie Madeira Finished Limited Edition! As Douglas Laing’s mighty mouse searches the globe to find the ultimate flavour profile to be paired with cheese, this latest release sees our classic Highland Malt carefully finished over several months in the finest, and most exquisite, Madeira casks releasing a new depth of character to our already sublime spirit. In true Douglas Laing style, this bottling is offered proudly without colouring or chill-filtration, allowing the natural spirit to exude the very best qualities straight from the cask.

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! Inside there’s a medley of vanilla, malted barley, meringue, honey and citrus flavours just bursting to be unleashed… Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions.
