Douglas Laing's whisky universe for Timorous Beastie is characterized by its unique approach to blended malt whisky. The Timorous Beastie series is named after a character from Robert Burns' poem 'To a Mouse' and celebrates Scotland's rich literary heritage. This series is known for its distinctive and flavorful profile, expressing the essence of the Scottish Highlands.

Timorous Beastie whiskies are composed of carefully selected malt whiskies from various distilleries in the Scottish Highlands. These whiskies are chosen for their individual qualities and contribute to creating a harmonious and complex blend with a distinct Highland character.

Timorous Beastie whiskies are often described as lively and full-bodied with a rich and complex flavor profile, highlighting notes of fruit, spices, and honey. They are popular among whisky enthusiasts seeking a unique and characterful Scottish experience.

Douglas Laing is known for giving the whiskies in the Timorous Beastie series an extra dimension by using different types of cask finishes, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile. This includes cask finishes such as Madeira, which add subtle and refined nuances to the whisky. One such series is The Cheese Collection, which has just been released in a new version with a finish on used Madeira casks.

Timorous Beastie Madeira Limited Edition is part of 'The Cheese Cellar Collection', where the award-winning Highland Malt is allowed to enjoy an extended period of maturation in unique casks from some of the world's most renowned wine regions. This series is crafted to complement and enhance the whiskies by imparting character and flavor from the world of wine.

This particular edition of Timorous Beastie has been finished in the finest Madeira casks, resulting in a remarkably rich flavor profile. The influence of the Madeira cask imparts a subtle and complex character to the whisky, elevating it to new heights of taste and aroma.

The 2024 Madeira Limited Edition of Timorous Beastie is created with care and attention to detail to satisfy those who appreciate contrasting flavor experiences. This whisky is crafted to provide a harmonious blend of Highland Malt Scotch Whisky and the intense flavor notes from the Madeira casks.

By diving the nose into the glass, you will be greeted by a complex bouquet of ripe fruits, honeyed sweetness, toasted almonds, and subtle floral aromas. On the palate, you will experience a mixture of toffee, caramelized apples, juicy plums, and a pleasant spicy flavor with a silky smooth mouthfeel. The finish offers a symphony of sweet vanilla, orange marmalade, and a warming sensation that invites you to savor every drop.

In true Douglas Laing style, this bottling is proudly offered without coloring or chill filtration and with a high alcohol strength of 48%, allowing the natural spirit to shine through with all its flavor nuances.

The ideal companion to this new release is Gruyere. The mild sweetness of the Swiss cheese perfectly complements the subtle floral aromas brought by the Madeira influence. This creates a harmonious contrast between the salty and the sweet, providing a complex and satisfying taste experience.

The story of Douglas Laing is one of family heritage, a passion for whisky, and a vision to create exceptional blended malt whiskies of high quality. The company was founded back in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing and has since then been one of the most respected independent bottlers in Scotland.

Initially, Douglas Laing was primarily a wholesaler, selling spirits to merchants and retail stores. However, the company gradually became more involved in bottling its own whisky. In 1972, the company transitioned to the next generation when Fred Douglas Laing's son, Fred Jr., joined the management and began expanding the company's range of whiskies.

It was under Fred Jr.'s leadership that Douglas Laing began releasing a range of popular whisky brands, including the Timorous Beastie series. Timorous Beastie was first launched as part of the company's Remarkable Regional Malts series, which celebrates the various regions of Scotland.

Douglas Laing remains a family-owned and -operated company, now led by Fred Laing's son, Fred Laing Jr., and his daughter, Cara Laing. The company is known for its independence and high standards of quality, and it continues to create whiskies that excite whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
