The original Timorous Beastie, immortalised in Robert Burms’ famous scottish poem “To a Mouse” was a timid little field mouse. Echoing our natural bard’s wit. This whisky is most certainly not for the fainthearted.
Far Eastern Folklore tells the inspiration story of the jade rabbit, a strong and selfless character who sacrificed himself to feed three poor, elderly people. Those people were so moved to become moved by the rabbit’s noble deed. That they sent him to the moon to become immortal. In celebration of the mid-autumn festival 2021.
