concert_goerTimorous Beastie Highland Blended Malt NAS Douglas Laing 70cl 46.8% ABV
Small Batch Release series
Batch 22
Time code 08.02.21
Color: very pale yellow.
Nose: apples, turkish delight, black peppercorns, gooseberries, soap, a touch of sulphur, boiled potatoes, chocolate, pencil shavings, meadow flowers, hay, vanilla, juniper, herbs.
Taste: apples, vanilla fudge, pears, lemons, licorice, pepper, chocolate, and raspberries.
Finish: raspberries, cranberries, apples, lemons, pepper, chocolate, cinnamon, and licorice.
Score: 8. Between okay and good. =0+1+1.
Conclusion: the aroma is somewhat disappointing, but the taste and finish are quite decent. The sudden appearance of berry notes is a pleasant surprise. Still, this is a rather weak whisky, only marginally better than The Epicurean. 81/100. Timorous Beastie takes its name from Robert Burns' poem To a Mouse and includes single malts from, among others, Glen Garioch, Dalmore, and Glengoyne distilleries.
