Bremen, May 18, 2021 Douglas Laing & Co, the family-owned Scotch whisky company and creator of the Remarkable Regional Malts Scotch Whisky range, today launches Timorous Beastie “Meet the Beast”, a limited edition bottling of the Highland blended malt.

Bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.9% and aged exclusively in former American bourbon barrels, the “Beast” flexes its muscles. The dark bottle with red capsule and premium tube emphasizes the strong character of the whiskey through the striking presentation, complemented by bright red color accents. With flavors like complex oak, buttery pastry and rich spices, Timorous Beastie Meet the Beast is meant to appeal to “an adventurous whiskey drinker with an appetite for big flavors.”

Cara Laing, marketing director at her family business, said:

“The original Timorous Beastie may look cute and unassuming, but the spirit inside is a seriously credible Highland malt bottled at high alcohol strength and without colorants or cold filtration. Our new limited edition “Meet the Beast” is designed to unleash the wild side of Timorous Beastie and is in line with the repositioning of the core brand, which aims to engage consumers through a high-quality, credible message with a gritty edge. It’s true what they say – beware of the quiet ones!

Limited to only 3,600 bottles, Timorous Beastie Meet the Beast will be available at select retailers worldwide in May 2021.

The little powerhouse convinces with wonderful notes of cotton candy, creamy honey and buttery pastry

Long and warm finish lead that does not want to end.
