Thompson Bros Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Notes from the Bottler:
A Mystery 18-Year-old Malt Whisky! Expect powerful peat, minerality and beautiful balance – quite the mystery…

Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.

NOSE
A beautiful peated spirit, gently aged for 18 years in refill wood – perfect! Charred Hazelnuts, dusty peated malt/grist, Burnt sage, rosemary, oily fishing ropes, tar and creels. Crushed seashells and heather smoke. Touches of fruits – quince and apple peel

PALATE
At 48.5% it delivers! Very powerful with sharp citrus, heather honey, stewed apples, minerality – salt and wet slate. Some smoked ham, anchovies and capers in brine. Malty, Salty and moreish

FINISH
salty peanut brittle, the peat stays – and is powerful—quite earthy and robust – with lingering cigar smoke.

48.5% ABV.
