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

Description

Looking for a Highland malt that combines gentle character with surprising depth, all without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m thrilled to present Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie Blended Malt, a premium Highland expression that defies its shy name with bold, characterful flavors. This blended malt Scotch whisky showcases the best of Scotland’s Highland distilleries, masterfully vatted by independent bottler Douglas Laing. Unlike heavily peated expressions such as the Douglas Laing Big Peat 15th Anniversary, this beauty focuses on honeyed sweetness and rich maltiness that Highland whiskies are celebrated for.

• Distillery: Premium – Independent bottler Douglas Laing (established 1948)
• Region: International – Highland malts known for heather honey sweetness and rich, fruity character
• ABV: 40% – accessible strength that reveals gentle complexity without overwhelming heat
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Carefully selected Highland single malts vatted together
• Tasting Notes: Nose opens with creamy vanilla, golden syrup, and fresh orchard fruits. Palate delivers luscious honeycomb, toasted cereals, citrus zest, and subtle spice. Finish lingers with warming oak and lingering sweetness
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to release aromatic oils

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression remarkably food-friendly compared to bolder Scotches. After evaluating hundreds of Highland malts, this stands out for its exceptional value proposition at RM 225, delivering complexity typically found in pricier bottles.

Ideal for: Whisky newcomers exploring Scottish malts, casual gatherings, and thoughtful gifts for colleagues. Pairs with: Malaysian favorites like honey-glazed char siu, creamy butter prawns, pandan cake, or mild Nyonya dishes where the whisky’s sweetness complements rather than competes. Recommended for: Those who enjoy approachable Highland character—explore the Timorous Beastie 10 Years for added age complexity, or try the Scallywag Timorous Beastie The Ghost Festival Edition for something uniquely celebratory.
