Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie Blended Malt [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland blended malt that defies its gentle name with surprisingly bold character?

Don’t let the name fool you – Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie is anything but timid. This exceptional Highland blended malt marries carefully selected single malts from prestigious distilleries including Glen Garioch, Dalmore, and Glengoyne. Named after Robert Burns’ famous poem “To a Mouse,” this non-chill filtered expression delivers complexity that rivals our popular Big Peat Islay blend and Big Peat 12 Years in terms of character depth.
