North Highland 8 Year Old Blended Malt - Batch 2 (Thompson Bros.) 70cl Whisky

The Thompson Bros. are back with a second batch of bargainous brilliance with this blended malt Scotch whisky from the northern Highlands. Distilled in 2016, the whisky for the blend was ethically sourced from two local producers who operate within a 39.8 mile radius of the Thompson Bros. home at the Dornoch Distillery – Clynelish and Glen Ord. Both distilleries employ traditional crop rotation methods, use sustainable biofuels and use less water than many others. The blend (made up of 50.1% Glen Ord and 49.9% Clynelish) was married and slowly brought down to strength in a very, very freshly emptied refill sherry butt ensuring heaps of sweet stone fruit character throughout.
