- Description
- Thompson Bros.' 1996 distillate rested 24 years in a refill hogshead, blended with a teaspoon of whisky from another unnamed distillery—a playful nod to Scottish whisky geography. This mysterious release of 193 bottles represents a rare window into Scotland's independent bottling tradition.
