Timorous Beastie x WEST Brewery Beer Cask Finish

Douglas Laing has long been one of our favourite independent bottlers. Established in 1948, the family owned company is now onto its third generation with director of whisky Cara Laing taking the reins. From their ‘Remarkable Regional Malts’ range, Timorous Beastie is a blended malt crafted from single malt whiskies exclusively hailing from the Highlands such as Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Glengoyne.

Once again, however, there’s a twist, as this one has been finished in casks that once held WESTWERK03 – a rich, strong (8.4%) malt-forward limited edition Doppelbock, which was itself barrel-aged for 80 days in former Timorous Beastie whisky casks! The beer comes from Glasgow’s legendary WEST Brewery, the only brewery in the UK to officially adhere to the Reinheitsgebot, the German Purity Law of 1516.
