Highland 19 Year Old 2007 – Thompson Bros Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Discover this exceptional Highland 19 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled in 2007 and independently bottled by Thompson Bros of Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands.

Originating from an undisclosed but highly regarded island distillery, identified by the independent bottler as Highland Park, this remarkable release has spent 19 years maturing in refill hogshead casks before being bottled at a powerful 57.1% ABV.

This is the final release of Thompson Bros' undisclosed Highland stock from the distillery, following their much-loved 18 Year Old expression. It offers whisky enthusiasts an opportunity to explore mature, gently peated island whisky with exceptional character.

Expect a fascinating combination of heather smoke, coastal minerality, citrus fruits, honeyed malt and earthy peat, with the refill cask maturation allowing the spirit's distinctive character to take centre stage.

Highland 19 Year Old Thompson Bros Tasting Notes

The following tasting notes are based on Thompson Bros' earlier 18 Year Old release from the same stock. Official notes specifically for the 19 Year Old are yet to be published.

• Nose: Charred hazelnuts, dusty peated malt and aromatic herbs, including burnt sage and rosemary. Maritime notes of fishing ropes, tar and crushed seashells mingle with heather smoke, quince and fresh apple peel.
• Palate: Vibrant citrus, rich heather honey and stewed apples meet coastal minerality, sea salt and wet slate. Savoury notes of smoked ham, anchovies and brined capers provide a distinctive balance of smoke, fruit and salt.
• Finish: Salty peanut brittle, earthy peat and robust smoke, with lingering tobacco and cigar-like notes.

19 Years in Refill Hogshead Casks

This Thompson Bros Highland 19 Year Old has been matured in refill hogsheads, allowing the natural character of the mature single malt to develop without excessive influence from active oak.

Refill wood is particularly well suited to showcasing complex distillery character, preserving the balance between gentle peat smoke, coastal influences, natural malt sweetness and mature fruit flavours.

At 57.1% ABV, this release promises a full-flavoured drinking experience for enthusiasts who appreciate mature, characterful Scotch whisky.

About the Distillery – Undisclosed Highland Park

Although officially presented as an undisclosed Highland single malt, Thompson Bros identifies the source as Highland Park, the celebrated distillery located in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands.

Founded in 1798, Highland Park is renowned for producing richly textured single malt whisky with a distinctive balance of aromatic heather peat smoke, honeyed sweetness, dried fruits and subtle coastal character.

Unlike the heavily peated whiskies commonly associated with Islay, Highland Park is traditionally recognised for its more aromatic, heathery style of peat smoke.

This 19-year-old independent bottling provides a fascinating opportunity to explore the distillery's character through extended refill hogshead maturation.
