New arrivals from Finn Thomson at Inverurie Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

Finn Thomson Invergordon Single Grain 50 Year Old 1974

This rare single grain whisky from Invergordon, Scotland’s northernmost grain distillery, is a masterpiece shaped by time and tradition. Known for producing whiskies with a uniquely smooth and creamy profile, this 50-year-old expression exemplifies the transformative power of extended maturation. Left undisturbed in a single cask for exactly half a century, the whisky has evolved into an extraordinary spirit, showcasing a stunning array of flavours.  This rare release not only celebrates the art of grain whisky but also redefines its potential, proving that, when given time, grain whisky can rival even the most revered malts in depth and complexity.

£370.00

Tasting Notes:

Bursting with notes of ripe peaches, nectarines, and delicate vanilla cream, it offers a velvety mouthfeel complemented by subtle hints of almond, coconut, and a whisper of oak

 

Finn Thomson Tamnavulin 33 Year Old 

Few distilleries tell the modern story of scotch whisky better than Tamnavulin. Built in the height of the blended whisky boom in the 1960s, much of its production was destined for the expanding American market. The style of the distillery represented the consumer tastes of the time: malty and light, this was a malleable whisky and a blender’s dream.

With the fall in fortunes of the industry in the 1990s, Tamnavulin was one of many distilleries victim to closure. Indeed, this very cask was filled just a few years before the distillery was mothballed and not opened again until 2007.

That old style of Tamnavulin is almost lost, and what makes this cask so special is that the character of the original distillery shines through. Childhood memories of eating bowls of Golden Grahams come flooding back.

£500.00

This is a flashback to the best of the 1990s, sadly never to be repeated again.
