Finn Thomson Longmorn 1991 34 Years Old Single Malt Whisky

Finn Thomson Longmorn 1991 34 Years Old Single Malt Whisky

It is now 3 years since I was able to relaunch the family business and begin a new chapter of the Thomson whisky story.

I’ll always remember the launch event where we tasted all 8 of our inaugural releases but one of the most memorable drams was actually provided by my grandfather. As a personal toast, Grandad Michael cracked open one of his original bottles of Beneagles blended whisky. With twinkling eyes, he let us into some of the key components of the closely-guarded recipe – along with North British grain and Macallan malt, a crucial ingredient was a lesser-known Speyside distillery… Longmorn.

According to my grandfather, Longmorn’s reliable fruitiness was central to the success of Beneagles and, for that reason, our collection treasures a number of Longmorn casks.

This particular cask is a perfect example of what makes Longmorn so special. Thirty-four years of ageing in a combination of PX sherry and an ex bourbon cask have created a perfect harmony of flavours.

That trademark Longmorn fruitiness that my grandfather coveted so much is elevated by the sweetness of the PX sherry cask and it is a wonderful reminder of what made Beneagles such a popular whisky of its time.

Story

Finn Thomson is a Scotch whisky independent bottler that is 300 years in the making. Since James Thomsons illicit potstill in the 1700s, the Thomson family has pursued a different element of whisky through the ages – distilling, blending, trading, selling – helping to shape the very story of Scotch itself. 

With three centuries of family whisky history and personal tutelage from some of the most respected names in the Scottish whisky industry, Finn may stand on the shoulders of giants. But the weight of decision rests on his own.

Finn is responsible for calling the moment when a whisky’s flavours are at their finest; quirks and eccentricities at their most beguiling. Whether it’s a decades-old cask from the family collection or an entirely new creation, this is art as much as science. Wood, water and weather have had their say. The only guides that count now are taste, scent and intuition.
