When you think of whisky, the countries that often come to mind are Scotland, Ireland, and the United States. But there's a new player on the scene that’s turning heads — and it is proudly Malaysian. Meet Timah, the country’s first double peated blended whisky, a true testament to Malaysia’s growing distilling prowess.

Smooth, Rich, and Proudly Made in Malaysia

Timah isn’t just a whisky; it is a reflection of innovation and craftsmanship. The secret behind its unique taste lies in its special blend of two aged imported peated malts and a neutral spirit of Malaysian origin. Aged in American oak barrels, Timah develops a refined, distinguished flavor profile that sets it apart from any other whiskey you have tasted. This carefully crafted blend creates a smooth yet complex character, offering a whisky experience that is as unique as the country itself. 

A Nose That Delights, A Taste That Surprises

On the nose, Timah greets you with a light, fruity aroma that gently hints at a floral bouquet, creating a sense of elegance. But it is the double peating process that sets it apart, giving Timah a distinctive smokey backbone that shines through the glass. On the palate, the whisky dances between smokey notes and a sweet, mellow finish, leaving you with a gentle light oak aftertaste. It’s a well-balanced whisky that’s both smooth and adventurous.
