Timorous Beastie Madeira Cask Finish is a blended malt Scotch whisky presented at 48% ABV and given a finishing period in Madeira casks. Madeira cask finishing is generally used to add extra layers of fruit sweetness and wine-influenced richness to a malt-driven whisky.
For a novice drinker, this style is often approachable but still full-flavoured, combining Highland malt character with a rounder, fruitier edge from the cask finish. Expect a richer, sweeter profile than a more standard ex-bourbon matured blend, with the higher strength bringing added intensity.
