North British 34 Year Old – Thompson Bros Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Discover an exceptional example of mature Scottish grain whisky with this North British 34 Year Old, independently bottled by Thompson Bros of Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands.

Matured for an impressive 34 years, this beautifully aged Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky comes from the historic North British Distillery in Edinburgh. More than three decades of maturation have developed an inviting combination of Demerara sugar, rich custard, honeycomb, stewed plums and gentle oak spice.

Bottled at 40.1% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration, this release showcases the elegant sweetness, wonderfully oily texture and complexity that make mature single grain Scotch whisky so rewarding.

Following the success of Thompson Bros' award-winning 33 Year Old North British, this 34 Year Old expression offers another opportunity to explore one of Scotland's most celebrated grain whisky distilleries.

North British 34 Year Old Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich custard and Demerara sugar, followed by sweet fruit jellies and ripe stone fruits. Subtle woody and earthy notes add complexity.
• Palate: A wonderfully oily, mouth-coating texture with honeycomb wax, stewed plums and delicate floral plum jam. Mature oak brings structure and depth.
• Finish: Honey on toast gives way to bright citrus pith and gentle oak, with a slightly drying, bittersweet character that balances the rich sweetness.

34 Years of Maturation – Mature Single Grain Whisky

This North British 34 Year Old Thompson Bros demonstrates the remarkable complexity that extended cask maturation can bring to Scottish grain whisky.

Over more than three decades, the interaction between spirit and oak can create layers of caramelised sweetness, vanilla, rich fruit, honeycomb and subtle spice.

Unlike single malt Scotch whisky, which is made entirely from malted barley in pot stills, single grain Scotch whisky may use other cereals and is commonly distilled using continuous column stills.

With its beautifully developed flavour profile and approachable 40.1% ABV, this North British is a superb choice for whisky enthusiasts seeking an elegant, mature Scotch whisky.
