Thompson Bros.
Tasting Notes
The Thompson Bros. have once again shrouded their latest offering in secrecy, presenting a 16-year-old single malt from an unnamed Speyside distillery. Distilled in February 2006, this whisky embarked on an intriguing journey, initially maturing in a refill hogshead before spending its final 26 months in a sherry hogshead. The result is a limited release of 277 bottles, bottled at 51.1% ABV in May 2022. This expression promises a harmonious blend of flavors, with the refill cask imparting a subtle foundation and the sherry cask lending its distinctive richness. Expect a well-rounded dram that captures the essence of Speyside while holding the mystery of its origins, inviting whisky enthusiasts to venture into the unknown and savor the delightful surprises that await.
