- Description
- Thompson Bros. vatted this five-year-old blended malt in June 2025, selecting 73.72% Clynelish for its signature texture alongside 26.28% of Dornoch Distillery's Highland character and a touch of spirit from Sutherland's other storied distillery. Eight months of marriage refined the blend before bottling, creating a well-integrated composition.
