Timorous Beastie Highland Malt “Phantom Smoke” Limited Edition
Douglas Laing & Co. today proudly introduces a daring new chapter for its award-winning Highland Malt with the launch of Timorous Beastie Phantom Smoke, a Limited-Edition expression that marks the first time peat has been introduced to the beloved “mighty mouse” brand.
This innovative bottling marries a peated Highland Malt with classic Timorous Beastie spirit that has undergone an extended maturation in Crocodile Casks – heavily charred oak barrels that impart intense depth and complexity. Bottled at a formidable 54.2% ABV and offered without colouring or chill-filtration, Phantom Smoke remains true to Douglas Laing’s philosophy of bottling Scotch Whisky “as natural as it gets.”
The result is a hauntingly harmonious dram, described with tasting notes as:
Nose: Crackling with smouldering peat, scorched spice, and charred oak.
Palate: Layers of Highland sweetness emerge beneath the smoke, creating a bold yet balanced experience.
Finish: Lingering, harmonious, and unforgettable – a whisky that echoes long after the final sip.
Presented in a wraparound label and bespoke carton with embossing and silver foil detailing, this striking release is limited to just 3,000 bottles globally.
Scott Morrison, Senior Brand Manager, commented:
“Phantom Smoke is a bold step for Timorous Beastie – a whisky that introduces peat for the very first time in the brand’s history. Combined with the dramatic influence of Crocodile Casks, it offers a completely new flavour journey for our Highland Malt, while retaining the sweet charm our Timorous Beastie fans know and love.”
With a UK RRP of £60.00 / €69.00, Timorous Beastie Phantom Smoke is available from specialist spirits retailers globally and online.
