SRV5 8 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (Thompson Bros.) | 700ML

A lovingly made and highly affordable blended malt from the Thompson brothers in Dornoch, created with the whisky enthusiast in mind. SRV5 aka 'Station Road Vat 5' is married in the European oak vat illustrated (by Yu Kurahashi of Bar Tre, Hiroshima) on the label. This acts as a solera as it's never emptied to less than a third full when whisky is drawn off for bottling. Expect good body, fruitiness, waxiness, and a backbone of balanced peat in this 8 year old whisky bottled at a healthy 48.5%. As you'd expect, it's non-chill filtered and natural colour.

Distillery Information

Not content with establishing one of the World’s leading whisky bars in Dornoch, brothers Phil and Simon Thompson have upped their ambitions and started making their own whisky and gin on-site at Dornoch Castle Hotel, forming Dornoch’s first whisky distillery. Thompson Bros at Dornoch Distillery was founded following a successful initial crowdfunding round in 2016 which saw 250 whisky lovers from all over the world eagerly put their hands in their pockets to secure hotly anticipated casks of new make spirit from Dornoch Distillery. A remarkably successful 2017 saw the team lay down casks of future single malt whisky and launch Thompson Brother’s Organic Highland Gin, available in 11 international markets. The success of Thompson Bros Organic Highland Gin and the need for more production, storage and distilling space led to the brothers launching the second round of crowdfunding in summer 2018 with the aim of expanding into a larger more versatile site.
