The Timorous Beastie Cheese Cellar Madeira Cask Finish Limited Edition is an exceptional and strictly limited-edition bottling from Douglas Laing, created as part of the popular Remarkable Regional Malts series. This special edition of the Highland Blended Malt was created specifically to pair harmoniously with cheese and was matured in selected Madeira wine casks, which lend the whisky a fruity, spicy and elegantly matured character.

Bottled at a robust 48% ABV, non-chill-filtered and without added colouring, this whisky is presented in its original form – full of character, unadorned and rich in depth. The blend is based on selected single malts from the Scottish Highlands, typically including bottlings from Glen Garioch, Blair Athol or Dalmore, which give the whisky its smooth texture, honeyed sweetness and subtle spiciness. The finish in Madeira casks highlights the fruity complexity and rounds off the profile with notes of dried fruit, grapes and nutty warmth.

The Timorous Beastie is named after the poem of the same name by Robert Burns – a tongue-in-cheek homage to the ‘timid little beast’, which, however, proves anything but reserved in the glass. The ‘Cheese Cellar Edition’ has been specially crafted to create a perfect tasting experience when paired with savoury, creamy or mature cheeses.
