Special Features: This 8-year-old bottling aged in hogsheads from the Private Stock of Thompson Bros. is a teaspooned blended malt. Characteristic of this category is that the whisky is essentially a single malt to which a small amount of another malt is added to allow classification as a blended malt. With a robust alcohol content of 57.1% vol., the whisky is presented unfiltered and without the addition of coloring, allowing it to shine in a particularly natural form.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh citrus fruits, vanilla, caramel, and subtle oak spice
Palate: Full-bodied with honey-sweet notes, ripe apples, malt sugar, and a fine nutty nuance
Finish: Long-lasting and slightly spicy with creamy sweetness and a fine wood tone
