Hot on the heels of the popular North Highland Blended Malt, the Thompson Bros. have knocked together another batch! Utilising the same distillates as Batch 1, both matured in refill Hogsheads.  The highland malts were then juiced up in a very, very freshly emptied refill sherry butt, resulting in fuzzy stone fruit flavours and early 2000 Supermarket deals.  The blend has been slowly diluted in a cask to an extra quaffable 44.4%ABV.

NOSE: Kiwi, starfruit, crushed white grapes, Loire Chenin Blanc, wet marble, lemon juice and a hint of salty brine. Sharp gooseberries, osmanthus flower and oak char.

PALATE: Citrus peel; Bergamot and grapefruit, some wood spice & charred oak. Pineapple, green pepper, blackthorn salt, white grape juice, chamomile and starfruit.

FINISH: Big lemony hit with chamomile, kiwi & white pepper. Great length and a gentle waxiness.
