Суммаризация отзывов
Лёгкий, светлый и сладкий бленд с фруктово-медовым и ванильным профилем, который чаще хвалят как повседневный и доступный, но нередко критикуют за молодость, простоту и короткий финиш.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов виски описывают как молодой, светлый и довольно простой бленд с фруктово-медовым и ванильным характером. В носу отмечают жёлтые фрукты, яблоки, груши, цитрус, мёд, ваниль, а также зерновые, травянистые и ореховые ноты; в отдельных отзывах упоминаются цветочные и морские оттенки, сухофрукты, ириски и типично хайлендский характер с вереском. Вкус чаще мягкий и сладкий, с мёдом, карамелью и специями (перец, имбирь), иногда с горьковатой или металлической ноткой. Финиш преимущественно короткий, сладкий, порой сухой, вяжущий или горьковатый, с оттенками дерева и специй; мнения о его длине расходятся — от длинного и сбалансированного до короткого и мимолётного.
Оценки заметно расходятся. Часть отзывов хвалит виски как приятный, лёгкий «летний» и повседневный драм с хорошим соотношением цены и качества, подходящий для начинающих. Другие считают его слишком молодым, водянистым, одномерным, слишком кислым и незрелым, не стоящим своей цены, а также указывают на серные, зерновые и «испорченные» ноты, отталкивающую лекарственную ноту и оттенок new make в финише, из-за которых напиток трудно допить. Отдельно отмечается, что он менее выразителен по сравнению с родственным релизом. Таким образом, мнения о сложности и качестве противоречивы: одни находят его приятным и «полным», другие — не очень сложным и не впечатляющим.

Not a big fan of blends, but.... This is amazing! The finest distillers in one bottle: Dalmore, Blair Athol, Glengoyne and Glen Garioch if I am correct. Together with Compass Box, these blends are a must for single malt people out there.

| Нос | 86 | Very fruity. Yellow fruits, orchard, flowers, cittus oak wood, some peaches/abricot in the background. I think this is a go to dram for the beginners but also for a night with friends in the summer. After a while in the glass there is also some vanilla and honey. |
| Вкус | 85 | Oak wood again, together with lots of fruits as discribed in the nose. A true mix of fruits, flowers and orchard, together with honey and some caramel in the distance. |
| Финиш | 86 | Short, smooth, yellow fruits and pleasant. |

This is a very light and sweet whisky. It’s a bit thin and watery on the palate (despite the 46.8%). Adding water to this dram does not really work for me and makes the weak palate even weaker. The nose becomes a bit fruitier and even sweeter. All in all it’s a nice summery dram to sip mindlessly although it’s quite steeply priced for the quality you get. http://www.worldwhisky.nl/review-420-timorous-beastie/

Tiny Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts is an award winning series of 6 releases representing the six different regions. The Epicurean for the Lowlands, Scallywag for Speyside, Timorous Beastie for the Highlands, The Gauldrons for Campbeltown, Rock Island for the Islands and finally Big Peat for Islay. Let me list them all for you. In the glass is the Timorous Beastie, currently bottled at 46.8% ABV and also has some Strathearn in the mix. It is exceptionally pale. The nose is spring-fresh and frisky, but also shows signs of a very young whisky. Some apples, lime, gooseberry and some floral notes in the background. Something of grape sugar and oatmeal porridge. A tiny (see what I did there?) nothing. Very soft on the palate with some sweet white fruit up front, followed by a pepper and some wood shavings, malt and citrus peel. Playful and young. Spring fresh, I said it already. But in all honesty also not very challenging and far from complex. A short finish that starts sweet and ends a little astringent is my share. The apples and a dried slice of lime peel linger. This is a young whisky to enjoy with friends on a sunny terrace. And you can get a bottle for around 35 EUR, so don't worry.

0262-TIMOROUS BEASTIE DOUGLAS LAING & LAING Co. SMALL BATCH RELEASE HIGHLAND BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKEY 46.8%. ... A drinkable thing and therefore dangerous, because you can forget yourself. The whole thing is quite neatly arranged, a lot of everything. The aromas are flattering, they announce a lot. In the mouth, the first impression can be compared to ... a cookie called bajaderka. A cookie in the shape of a large ball, which is made of different cookies. It tastes delicious, but only after a while do we start to distinguish what it consists of. For some it will be nothing special, but I think it is worth paying attention to. If you bought it, you will not regret it.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | — | ... quite lively, fresh, floral and fruity. It smells a bit like muesli with milk for breakfast. Fresh bread crust, a slice of bread with butter and honey. This honey is quite expressive. In time, fruits appear - I lean towards dried ones, apricot, raisin, lemon trace. For a moment I "look" into the empty - cereal leaven, some yeast, which is still working. I don't know if they added a bit of "smoke", but I have the impression that it is pipe-like. Although the longer I sink my nose, it may be roasted rice. The aromas as a whole are pleasant, slightly winey. |
| Вкус | — | ... the first moment is so many things at once that you don't know what to focus on. It starts off sweet, slightly spicy, then fruity, honeyed, nutty and ends slightly bitter. The second sip - again a feeling of "fullness", a lot of honey wort, toffee candies, chewy. There are spices, slightly bitter and a little spicy (but within the norm). Sweet potatoes (yams) with a bit of butter, a bit of something burnt - maybe a burnt cake base. A drop of lime juice, a teaspoon of drinking chocolate with a grain of pepper, cinnamon and cardamom. It's good! |
| Финиш | — | ... sweet and spicy, marzipan. Again, bitter burnt spices, sour coffee and the whole thing ends with wet wood. Overall, it's average and leaves a slight metallic aftertaste somewhere in the nooks of the mouth. |

Not a Beast Timorous Beastie is the little brother of Scallywag, another blended malt from Douglas Laing. This one is composed of Glengoyne, Dalmore, Blair Athol and Glen Garioch. In the meantime they also released Rock Oyster, but more about that later. We will first try this new Highland Blended Malt.I get a lot of citrus on the nose, but also white fruit and a sour note. Then a truckload of vanilla and grain cookies emerge. A touch of woodsmoke, but not a lot. Feels a bit young. A rather docile nose, if you ask me.The arrival is quite powerful and spicy. Turns creamy. The same fruit as on the nose, but a bit more grapefruit than apples. The vanilla returns. I get a fresh minty note and some wood, but not much else is going on here. The finish, which is not long at all, offers some ginger and more vanilla. To be honest, I am not impressed. I expected more from this. The packaging is lovely, but that does not guarantee an interesting whisky. This sure is no beast. Around 50 EUR, which is not cheap either.

Light nose, a little fruity, on white fruits and vanilla, plum, grapes. It's quite fresh, perhaps a touch of mint, but earthy too, dry earth, vegetal fragrances, woody, resin, chocolate and licorice. On the palate, the fruits are no longer the same, more apricots, pears, tart apple, but the woodiness persists. Cinnamon, sandalwood, Armenian paper. Slight bitterness. It ends with a decent, sparkling finish, on cola and spices. Fine herbs, nutmeg, thyme. It's interesting and rather pleasant on the palate, very pleasant. It can be found at a decent price. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/01/timorous-beastie.html

Inspired by Robert Burns' poem 'To a Mouse', Timorous Beastie is a Highland blended malt of Blair Athol, Glengoyne, Dalmore and Glen Garioch. A bit off-putting at first, the nose unfolds with butterscotch and intense floral notes before heather honey, citrus fruits and juniper start to emerge. The taste is surprisingly spicy and gingery, featuring mashed berries, creamy vanilla and a touch of eucalyptus. This little fellow is not shy at all! Fading with milky cereals, licorice and hints of sweet malt, the finish turns slightly dry and nutty. Not bad, I would say. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 83 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE

From Whiskyfun November 12, 2014 Timorous Beastie (46.8%, Douglas Laing, blended malt, 2014) An all-Highlands blended malt that gathers Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Blair Athol. NAS again, naturally. Colour: straw. Nose: another one that worked, apparently. What’s striking is that it does smell of an Highland malt indeed, but I wouldn’t say one distillery’s singing louder than the others. Certainly not Blair Athol. I find cider apples, bitter oranges (Dalmore?), a little shoe polish (Glen Garioch?) and quite a series of wood spices, mixed with a little sour dough, perhaps. And mashed celeriac? Mouth: definitely modern and pretty spicy. Ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves on a base made out of stewed apples and maple syrup. Notes of fresh oak (cinnamon, vanilla). Some peat coming through as well, where does that come from? Finish: long and very spicy. A spice cake rather than a space cake – ha. Comments: a modern composition made with old-skool malts, that’s clever! And to my liking once again. SGP:562 - 85 points.

If there is such a thing as the classic Highland character, it is immortalized here, ie the whiskey will definitely live up to its claim. Unfortunately, the whole thing is pretty young and not very complex. If you like this style, try the fantastic Age Statement whiskeys of Timorous Beastie.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | — | The first impression is pretty young. Fresh barley meets green apples and honey. In the background I pass a little carnation. With some time blood orange dominates and some shoe polish is added. |
| Вкус | — | The mouthfeel is pleasantly oily with the sweetness of honey and the sharpness of ginger. Unfortunately, I do not taste much more. |
| Финиш | — | The finish is medium in length with pepper and the typical taste of the classic Fishermen's Friend. |

On the nose, the little mouse is very lively, young and lively. The fruit flavors are light but nice. Goes very well with a mild summer evening. In the mouth it becomes very sweet and remains fruity. Slight spiciness towards the end. However, the aromas are not yet that intense, a lot is hinted at - it hasn't been in the barrel for long. An ideal beginner, nothing will overwhelm the inexperienced palate.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 79 | The smell is light and very light fruity. In the fruit basket there are green, crunchy apples, combined with lime zest, even something sour, tropical like kiwis. Tangy green grape juice, like a young wine, with a little vanilla. There is also something slightly floral in the background. Some fructose and slightly grassy notes at the end on the nose. The alcohol is well integrated. |
| Вкус | 79 | A soft, almost silky mouthfeel. Very pleasant caramel-like beginning. The sweetness dominates first, then come the fruits, especially apples, the green, slightly sour grapes and some lemon. Then there is a slight spiciness of ginger with a small hint of cinnamon as well as a very subtle spiciness. Notes of dried grains and a muesli bar with added vanilla can also be tasted. But all flavors are light and delicate. |
| Финиш | 77 | The finish is not long. Slightly astringent and a few bitter moments from the wooden barrels. The lemon and apple peel still stick in your mouth. |

This does a decent job at representing the Highland profile, however I found it a bit too young. I think that part of the problem is that some of the component malts are malts that need age to be good. Still not a bad dram, quite light and pleasant.

So, any comparison with the “Scallywag” is wrong. Stay away from adding water - the aroma suffers as a result. I think he's a bit too young. Certainly not exactly the best barrels from the distilleries involved.

Full of so many off notes. It's got a lot of sulphury, grainy, hay, spoiled milk notes. I really don't see what the bottler was intending for this expression; a museum of off notes from young scotch whisky? maybe. I couldn't finish the .5 oz dram of this expression.

Exceptionally bright color. The structure is not oily. The nose is quite sweet. Lots of vanilla. Grain cannons. Malted barley grain. Less sweetness on the tongue and finish, but similar aromas. There is a pinch of spices. White pepper. Whiskey is rather light and delicate in terms of aromas.

Not bad at all I believe, although I can think of plenty with blends that are much cheaper and with higher quality. But a good nose and flavors in this one despite the rawness. (Rating interval 81-84)
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | — | Some young spirit is really distinct when first nosing, but there are flavors beneath the rather raw presentation. Lets see what can be found. Breakfast cereal, bread and paper but also citrus, yeast and honey. After a while some soft hints of peanut butter and dried fruit are coming through. |
| Вкус | — | The arrival is soft and sweet, with spices and mint appearing in the development. It continues with some perfumed wood (cedar?), honey and maple syrup and at the same time quite substantial, oily and mouth filling. The peanuts are still there. |
| Финиш | — | The finish is really short and dry with black pepper, dry honey, vanilla and ginger. It's definitely a bit raw on the finish. |

Nose: perfume, meadow flowers, herbs, heather, citrus. Mouth: bittersweet, honey. Quite thin. Nice highland profile but it really lacks depth and complexity.

I got myself into a bit of a muddle with this one. I thought i was trying the limited edition 40yo WB that disappeared off the shelves,.... well, most of it never made many shelves, did it? So my notes below read rather strangely, until the penny dropped. N: Smells rather like a young Dalmore [now I know why], with a waxiness i sense will translate on the palate. Curiously young and bright for a 40yo yet without significant depth. At this point, i know the colour doesn’t look right, nor the viscosity but i was too excited to be at the Whisky Exchange Show [day 1] with so many fine malts to sample, to be fully switched on. This was only sample #3 and it was early too! Excuses over. T: Much weaker than expected, thin also - amazing vibrancy for it's age [there's puzzlement all over my face now],.... guess the strength helps - and then the penny dropped! F: A sustaining, clean finish. C: Before the penny dropped i’d have concluded with, ‘Puzzlingly full of beans for it's age'. Once back in the room, Timorous Beastie NAS is a simple, decent young blended malt that, one in a similar style to Gordon Highlander’s. Scores a C[-]

On the nose a lot of thinness, light fruit, lime In the mouth a little vanilla and herbs. Also very young and therefore more suitable for a long drink, maybe with bitter lemon?

Timorous Beastie (Douglas Laing) (Blended Malt). Consumed Dec 2018. Quite pale. Aroma has vanilla oak and butter, lots of pale wood. Taste - subtle peat, woody, lots of fresh oak and wood shavings with some apple. Salty boozy linger. Not bad. (3.3/79)

Not a big fan of blends, but.... This is amazing! The finest distillers in one bottle: Dalmore, Blair Athol, Glengoyne and Glen Garioch if I am correct. Together with Compass Box, these blends are a must for single malt people out there.

| Нос | 86 | Very fruity. Yellow fruits, orchard, flowers, cittus oak wood, some peaches/abricot in the background. I think this is a go to dram for the beginners but also for a night with friends in the summer. After a while in the glass there is also some vanilla and honey. |
| Вкус | 85 | Oak wood again, together with lots of fruits as discribed in the nose. A true mix of fruits, flowers and orchard, together with honey and some caramel in the distance. |
| Финиш | 86 | Short, smooth, yellow fruits and pleasant. |

Batch 13 (2018) N- Certainly pleased with the subtle dried fruits, spicy honey and delicious oat that greets you with enthusiasm. Basketful of ripe juicy fruits that oozing with nectar. Notes of white oak lurking. (86/20) P- Hand rip ripe peaches with lushes of fresh fruity sweet. Firm and spicy bites that hold up the structure so well here, and still gives room for sherried raisin and soft boiled spices to shines. (87/21) F- Medium-long, balanced of sweet and spicy, echoing raisin and sherry nuance. Polished. (87/21) Body/Balance- 88/22. Surely a well composed and bold blended malt. Excellent value for the quality. Weighted Rate- 84pt — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Probably the most typical Highland character you can imagine. Lots of herbs (heather), some honey, a pleasant hint of fresh citrus notes and then nice and spicy afterwards. Great thing, does what it should. The Highlands captured beautifully I would say :)

So this really resembles its brother - Epicurean DL. It is a better integrated dram. But it is also less pronounced in almost every way. Because other flavours were not that present on the nose, the alcohol was more prevalent. On the other hand it was perhaps better than Epicurean in the "finish" departement. A good summer dram perhaps. I would even call it refreshing. But it is surely not interesting in any way.

| Нос | — | Alcohol, rubber, bit citrusy and a bit of honey |
| Вкус | — | Light, floral, citrusy, refill bourbon casks probably? |
| Финиш | — | Finish is quickly fleeing. Everything is there, but it quickly becomes just an echo of itself. |

It noses and tastes a little young and is a little new make-y on the finish. It is tasty though. Quite floral, malty and honeyed, with notes of butterscotch, marzipan, creamy vanilla and a hint of stewed fruits. The texture is lovely, quite robust and silky.
