Timorous Beastie
Tasting Notes
With a name inspired by Robert Burns' poem, "To a Mouse," Timorous Beastie is a bold and unapologetic Highland blended malt whisky. Crafted from a careful selection of malts from renowned distilleries like Dalmore, Glen Garioch, and Glengoyne, it boasts an intriguing aroma that combines notes of acacia honey, creamy boiled sweeties with a hint of strawberry, dried apricots, and white grapes, all enveloped in a whiff of coastal air and classic Highland heather. The sherry influence adds depth and complexity, while the palate unveils a harmonious blend of dried fruits, green apples, anise, and sweet malt loaf, accompanied by nuances of pebble beaches and more heather. The finish lingers on, drying with hot cinnamon sweeties and fresh bread, leaving a lasting impression that defies its timid moniker. Despite its name, Timorous Beastie is a whisky that commands attention and respect.
