Whisky Analysis "Timorous Beastie is another member of the Remarkable Regional Malts series produced by Douglas Laing. A very nice, powerful hit of spice, wrapped in a sweet confectionery coating. Seems like a real misnomer of a name, as this is in no way shy or retiring. I would say Blair Athol and old-style Glen Garioch dominate here."

Whisky Saga "This is a big dram"

Josh Peters, The Whiskey Jug "Created from 100% Island whiskies, the Rock Oyster Whisky is another Remarkable Regional Malts"

Nose: Acacia honey, creamy boiled sweeties (the strawberry flavour), dried apricots and white grapes. There's a good whack of Sherry influence in here too! A whiff of coastal air and classic Highland heather, too.

Palate: Dried fruits, green apples and anise. Sweet grist and malt loaf. Pebble beaches and more heather on the mid palate.

Finish: Long. Drying with hot cinnamon sweeties and fresh bread.
