An intriguing new release from indie bottlers, Thompson Bros, distilled in 2011 at an undisclosed Highland distillery and matured for 11 years in first fill barrels. Bottled at a very drinkable 48.5% vol, with artwork by KMG. Tasting notes sounds delightful, this should be another belter from Thompson Bros.
