This unique single-grain whisky was distilled at the North British Distillery in Edinburgh. This cask was specially selected to be bottled as a single grain, as it was deemed "too good" to be used for blending. The 29 years of maturation in a single sherry butt added milk chocolate, caramel and dried fruits, creating rich and complex dram. 

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.

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.
