Timorous Beastie Moscatel Finish Limited Edition


15th April 2024
Timorous Beastie Highland Blended Malt introduces the third and final instalment in its 'Cheese Cellar Collection' with the unveiling of the Moscatel Finish Limited Edition.

Timorous Beastie Moscatel Finish Cheese Cellar ColectionDouglas Laing & Co. has just revealed the third and final installment in their Timorous Beastie ‘Cheese Cellar’ Collection. This creative series features the acclaimed Highland Malt, enhanced through a variety of meticulously chosen cask finishes—each designed to pair perfectly with artisanal cheeses.

The concluding release has been matured in White and Purple Moscatel casks, adding what the company describes as "an exceptional depth of flavour" to the whisky.

To elevate the whisky’s rich and layered character, Goat’s Cheese is recommended as the perfect pairing. Its soft, tangy, and creamy qualities are said to "beautifully complement the whisky’s sweet, fruity, and floral notes," creating a harmonious balance of flavour and texture.

Presented in the signature tall black bottle of the Cheese Cellar Collection, this final edition showcases the beloved Timorous Beastie mouse in a bold blue design, enhanced with luxurious gold foil accents and a deep blue wax seal. A foiled neck tag offers further details on the tasting profile and highlights the expression’s unique role within the series.

Bottled at 48% ABV, with no added colouring or chill-filtration, this release stays true to Douglas Laing’s core philosophy of presenting Scotch Whisky "as natural as it gets."

Scott Morrison, Senior Brand Manager, commented: "With this final release in the Cheese Cellar Collection, we complete a journey of flavour exploration that Whisky and cheese lovers alike have embraced. The influence of the White and Purple Moscatel casks brings a refined sweetness and floral elegance, making this expression a fitting conclusion to the series."

A limited release of 4,200 bottles worldwide, Timorous Beastie Moscatel Finish edition is expected to retail at £60.00/€70.00 and will be available f
rom specialist online whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Nose: A sweet spiciness on the nose gives way to dried fruits, caramel, and fresh orange peel.

Taste: The thick palate bursts with creamy malt and cereals, balanced by tangy marmalade and honeysuckle.

Finish: The sweet finish lingers on—anticipate orange blossom, a hint of spice, and apricot.
