Thompson Bros 8 Year Old North Highland

The Thompson Brothers' Northern Highlands blended malt is a tribute to sustainable farming and whisky-making practices. It features an 8-year-old blend of Clynelish and Glen Ord, sourced from two distilleries that prioritize environmentally conscious production within a 39.8-mile radius of Dornoch Distillery. These distilleries employ traditional crop rotation, use sustainable biofuels, and focus on limiting water usage. Rested in a refill sherry butt, this blend is creamy and biscuity on the palate, making it a delightful summer dram with aromas of peaches, vanilla ice cream, and bananas. On the nose, expect peach, lychee, beeswax, golden syrup, and digestive biscuit, while the palate offers rich peach oils, tropical fruits, vanilla ice cream, and a silky texture. The finish is long, with layers of flavor and a satisfying richness.
