Douglas Laing Ghost Festival Malaysia Exclusive Edition
RM888.00
Introducing the Douglas Laing Ghost Festival Malaysia Exclusive Edition, a limited release featuring two remarkable Scotch whiskies – Timorous Beastie and Scallywag White. Each bottle captures the distinctive characteristics of Scotland’s diverse whisky regions, encapsulating the unparalleled expertise and creativity of the renowned independent bottler, Douglas Laing & Co.
Timorous Beastie, named after the shy field mouse immortalized in Robert Burns’ beloved poem “To a Mouse,” is anything but timid. Contrary to its namesake, this whisky holds a courageous spirit within. Boasting an exquisite blend of flavors – vanilla, malted barley, honeyed meringue, and fresh citrus, it awaits to thrill your palate. The nose is dominantly sweet, slowly warming to floral, light barley, and spicy honeyed tones. The palate is greeted by a spicy, fruit-laden introduction that flows into a sweet, fudgey character. The finish is subtly sweet, laced with oak, milky cereals, and late meringue, making for a lingering, satisfying encounter.
Next is the exclusive Scallywag White, a rare cask strength edition limited to a global release of just 3000 bottles. Celebrating the spirit of the season, each bottle is adorned with a festive woollen scarf. This special expression, exclusively matured in Spanish Sherry butts, is a delightful amalgamation of rich cocoa, dark fruits, subtle tobacco, and comforting winter spices. The nose reveals a richly spiced character interlaced with delicious vanilla. On the palate, you’ll discover layers of sweet, stewed fruits and dark chocolate entwined with nutmeg and cinnamon, a tribute to its years of maturation in Spanish Sherry butts. The finish bursts forth with zesty orange, fresh ginger, cocoa, and rich fruitcake, ensuring a memorable finale.
The Douglas Laing Ghost Festival Malaysia Edition is a must-have for every whisky enthusiast. These carefully curated expressions are a testament to the rich heritage of Scotland’s whisky regions, each a narrative of tradition and a celebration of distinctive character. This exclusive edition is not just a tasting journey; it’s an exploration into the heart of Scotland’s whisky legacy. Savor responsibly.
