Thompson Brothers 33 Year Old North British Single Grain

North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky, 33 Years Old (40.1% ABV), opens with demerara sugar and rich custard on the nose, lifted by playful fruit jelly sweetness, subtle rubber, and a sawdust-like mustiness that gradually gives way to ripe stone fruits. The palate is rich and coating, with honeycomb wax leading into stewed plums and floral plum jam, while wood-driven notes add grip and complexity to the satisfyingly oily texture. The finish carries honey on toast into zesty citrus pith, offering a gently bitter counterpoint to the earlier sweetness, as the woody character softens into a warm, balanced impression that invites another sip.
