Thompson Bros TB/BSW 6 Years Old Blended Scotch Whisky
This small-batch blended Scotch whisky is composed of carefully chosen single-malt and single-grain whiskies. They have all been aged for more than 6 years before being blended and rested, and then bottled by us at Dornoch Distillery. We have selected the components of the whisky to celebrate sherry maturation, and its character is inspired by the sherry-forward blends of the past.
Once rested, the whisky is slowly diluted to 46% ABV – an excellent balance of easy-drinking quaffability and flavour-forward intensity. It is then bottled without chill-filtration and no colouring is added.
This six-year-old blended Scotch whisky is released by the Thompson brothers in small batches, which is meant to pay homage to whiskies matured in sherry casks. It is matured and bottled in the small town of Dornoch near the Scottish Highland coast. The Dornoch distillery was founded in 2016 via crowdfunding and is located on the grounds of the Dornoch Castle Hotel. The artwork on the bottle is a design by the Japanese artist KK Hiroshima, who has also put his art to paper for labels of a well-known rum distillery.
