The Timorous Beastie Cheese Cellar Madeira Cask Finish Limited Edition is an exceptional and strictly limited-edition bottling from Douglas Laing, produced 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 with no colouring added, this whisky is presented in its original form – full of character, unadulterated and rich in depth. The blend is based on selected single malts from the Scottish Highlands, typically including expressions 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 to be 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.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm gold with amber highlights.

Nose: Fruity and elegant with honey, dried apricots, malt, raisins, white chocolate and a subtle oakiness.

Palate: Full-bodied and rich with dried fruit, Madeira-like sweetness, nutty notes, butterscotch, herbs and a hint of grape.

The Timorous Beastie Cheese Cellar Edition is excellent on its own or with a small splash of water to further bring out the fruity Madeira aromas. Its depth of flavour makes it the ideal accompaniment to a fine cheese platter – from strong blue cheese through to mature Cheddar and soft, creamy Brie. It also offers an intense culinary experience when paired with dried figs, nuts or dark chocolate.

An original and expressive Highland Blend with a Madeira finish – a limited-edition whisky with a strong character, ideal for moments of indulgence with cheese and character.
