Ardnoch 5 Years Old Blended Malt Thompson Bros.

ABV: 52.1% 70 cL

Ardnoch is a blended malt Scotch whisky from Thompson Bros., the independent bottler based at Dornoch Distillery in the Highlands. As the name hints, it brings together two corners of the Highlands: spirit from the Ardnamurchan peninsula on the rugged west coast, and malt from Dornoch in the north east.

 

Thompson Bros. tell the story of this release as a tongue-in-cheek medieval tale, with the "Thompson Brethren" journeying west through bog and midge to Ardnamurchan, then carrying their prize back home to Dornoch to marry it with their own malt. The label artwork is by Whiskyhobo.

 

The two spirits come together with a gentle, earthy peat influence running through the blend. Thompson Bros. describe the result as sweet and tropical up front, with savoury depth, a thick waxy texture and peat sitting quietly in the background.

 

Bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring.
