Scottish Grain Whisky is characterised by its use of grains such as wheat or rye, as opposed to the traditional malted barley. Grain Whiskies are typically lighter in character than malts, and a well-aged Grain Whisky can be extraordinarily complex, whilst costing a fraction the price of similarly aged Single Malts

J.G. Thomson Blended Grain Scotch Whisky 51 Year Old · 1972 Vintage 70cl · 46.5% ABV

£189.95

Crafted from vintage distilled components from 1972 and left to mellow for more than half a century in ex-bourbon barrels, this exceptional blend has had the time to develop intense depth and character – making it a one-of-a-kind dram and an exquisite alternative to malt. Bottled at 46.5%, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour, serve neat to appreciate the unique flavours and aromas that 50-plus years of maturation have created.

Nose: Alluring aromas of deep, earthy cocoa, sweet, dried mango and stewed rhubarb.

Palate: Orange blossom, cherry chocolate and marzipan to delight the taste buds. One sip will leave you wondering where it’s been all your life.
