The Story Behind the Beastie
The original “Timorous Beastie” was immortalised in Robert Burns' iconic poem, “To a Mouse.” But while Burns’ beastie was meek, our 18 Year Old expression is anything but. Bold, complex, and unapologetically rich, this dram offers a modern interpretation of Highland whisky – combining tradition with taste evolution.
