- Description
- Timorous Beastie's Madeira cask finish reimagines Douglas Laing's Highland blended malt with months in fortified wine casks, adding layers of dried stone fruit and caramel to the base malt's character. The Madeira influence brings sweetness and subtle oxidative complexity that distinguishes this from traditional sherry finishes. An unconventional dram suited to those pairing whisky with food, particularly soft cheeses where the wine-like qualities can shine.
