2 years ago Finn bottled his youngest ever single cask - a 5 year old peated Glasgow Glasgow Distillery single malt. It was his first single cask release from one of Scotland's many 'new' distilleries built in the 21st century. Despite the young age it proved to be a favourite amongst drinkers, often being the pick of the bunch at whisky festivals we attended across the world.

Since then, Glasgow Distillery has gone from strength to strength as a brand and is in Finn's opinion one of the very best new distilleries in Scotland. It is no surprise that the distillery, and especially their peated releases, have mopped up gold medals in the various Scotch whisky awards held annually.

This is the sister cask, now 2 years older and carrying an age statement of 7 years old. The flavour is richer and more layered. Matured entirely in a virgin oak cask there are a range of flavours transferred from the active wood. Caramel sweetness and that same banana note that Finn picked up from the sister cask release. This time the flavours are even more balanced and they combine with the inherent peatiness of the spirit impeccably.

This release is an elevated version of its sister cask and further proof that Glasgow Distillery is one of the leading lights of Scotch whisky's modern face.

About the Producer

Finn’s 6x great-grandfather James Thomson, born in 1713, was farming by day and, as dusk falls, distilling a secret that will one day become his family’s legacy: aqua vitae, the water of life.

Read the rest of the great family history on the Finn Thomson website

Representing the ninth generation, Finn Thomson is a young man who has inherited his family’s 300-year-old passion for whisky.

Thirsty to pair passion with knowledge, Finn sought opportunities to learn every aspect of the bottler’s craft: spending time with Miguel Torres in Spain and Casa Pedro Domecq in Mexico, as well as tutelage from some of Britain’s best-known Scotch whisky merchants.

Fuelled by the natural instinct for creativity and entrepreneurship that has pulsed through Thomson veins for centuries, Finn is now embarking on his biggest adventure yet. With a reverence for those who have walked before him, Finn Thomson is bringing new life to the family business. The story continues for the next generations.
