A Secret Speyside 11 Year Old – 2011 | Thompson Bros.
We’re delighted to announce our current Malt of the Moment is this superb Speyside dram from Thompson Bros. Let’s be honest, it’s all about how the whisky tastes not the look of the bottle, right? But sometimes we do get quite excited about a label and this is one of those times, proper retro! The whisky inside this tasty bottling was filled to cask 21st November 2011 and matured in refill sherry butts. The distillery is a secret but we think there’s a good chance that the label and contents match and this is another tremendous dram from the good folk from Dornoch.
We’ve got very limited stock available at this price.
