Thompson Bros North Highland Blended Malt 8-years-old

This year’s batch follows the same basic tenets of last year’s previous two releases with some slight tweaks;

1. Diluted over the course of 47 days. From 56.8% down to 44.9%. That’s a reduction of 0.25% per day. Dilution takes place almost entirely within cask. It takes a few years to make a decent blend, why rush it in the final process?

2. Surreptitious addition of 3% Heavily Peated D**more.
