Only 1,600 bottles of Timorous Beastie 25 Years Old will be released through specialist retailers, priced at £150 (US$187) per bottle.

The whisky was mostly matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and has been bottled at 46.8% ABV without caramel colouring or chill-filtration.

It is said to have a buttery, honey style, with notes of marmalade, ginger and damp oak.

Cara Laing, director of whisky at Douglas Laing, said: “Timorous Beastie 25 Years Old is a beautifully balanced marriage of single malts distilled in the Scottish Highlands.

“It’s a perfect illustration as to how rich Highland malts mellow as they mature whilst developing a wonderful complexity.

“This expression carried the trademark Timorous Beastie vanilla and honey style – as a result of being matured predominantly in ex-bourbon casks – as well as an orange tang and sweet spiciness, perfect for autumn evenings.”

Timorous Beastie 25 Years Old joins the brand’s 18-year-old special release, which has also been bottled at 46.8% ABV and is priced at RRP £90 (US$112).
