Timorous Beastie 18yr Old

Following their 21 and 40 year old releases in 2016, this is the third age statement release in the Timorous Beastie line of blended malts from Douglas Laing. This limited edition 18 year old marries whiskies from several undisclosed Highland distilleries. Only 7,258 bottles were released. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46.8%.

Nose:  Gently spiced initially on the nose, warming to honey, vanilla and juicy barley.

Palate: A late layer of macerated dark fruit.

Finish: Cough drop spices, more of those dulcet flavours replicated from the palate, running to a bone-dry finale.
