Listen to Podcast

If you're searching for an exceptional aged Scotch Malt Whisky with heritage, character, and rarity, Timorous Beastie 18 Years Old deserves your attention.

The Story Behind the Beastie

Bold, complex, and unapologetically rich, this dram offers a modern interpretation of Highland whisky – combining tradition with taste evolution.
