Timorous Beastie Phantom Smoke [Douglas Laing's] Highland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky - Finished in 100% Heavily Charred Crocodile Casks - Bottled 2025 at Cask Strength - 54.2% abv. - Limited to 3000 btl.

Our skilled team have expertly married this peated Highland Malt with the classic liquid that's been finishing in Crocodile (Heavily Charred) Casks for a significant length of time. This peated liquid combined with the heavily charred cask finish brings a completely new dimension to our mighty mouse, unleashing flavours never offered before in a Timorous Beastie dram.

The original Timorous Beastie, immortalised in Robert Burns’ famous Scots poem “To a Mouse” was a timid, little field mouse. Echoing our national bard’s wit, ours is most certainly not for the fainthearted! Inside there’s a medley of vanilla, malted barley, meringue, honey and citrus flavours just bursting to be unleashed… Part of the Remarkable Regional Malts range, the ultimate distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions.

Tasting Notes:
Crackling with notes of smouldering peat, scorched spice, and charred oak, layered with a surprising sweetness and highland charm. Phantom smoke is a dram that lingers long after the last sip - haunting, harmonious, unforgettable.
