A robust intensity greets the senses with a playful thrill before subduing into a sweet lingering warmth. Unassuming notes for the nose make for an easy welcome to this dram, as a faintly floral flavour starts and is caravanned through for a breezy smooth finish. The spirit of adventure captured in the feats of Captain Tristram Speedy is warmly encased in the light embers of Timah, a name which represents the enduring symbol of enterprise in Malayan history that led to cascades of development for the country at the dawn of the 20th century. Adventure was the home of this character, a globe-trotter that charts his own path of success for self and country, a trailblazer awash in the steamy tropical winds and swirling seas of the British frontier to the East. A rogue spirit with a heart of honour, the enterprising Speedy was also known for his captivating, multi-faceted personality borne of exposure to cultures aplenty. The winds that carried him to Malaya saw him raise and commandeer Indian troops into the heat of the Larut Wars, stamping order to a decade-long conflict in Larut. On the bottle is Captain Tristram Speedy whose colourful expeditions spanned a good part of the 19th century. It moves through a smokey palate before settling into a sweet, light oak finish. TIMAH is a light, fruity whiskey that is a harmonious mix of primarily smoke, with a hint of a floral bouquet. These components are blended by a master blender, resulting in the distinctive taste of the TIMAH blend. TIMAH consists of a carefully crafted blend of two imported aged peated malts and a neutral spirit of Malaysian origin.
