Thompson Bros SRV5 is a blended malt Scotch whisky produced by the Thompson brothers at Dornoch Distillery in the Scottish Highlands. It is made from a selection of North Highland, Islay and Speyside single malts, all aged more than eight years, before being married in a 1,200 L charred European oak solera vat that is never fully emptied between batches. Bottled at 48.5% ABV without chill filtration or added color, it typically retails for around $178 in the U.S.
still a grown-up Highlands profile at its base, with a healty strength. Some easy lemons, apples and shortbread on the one hand, but also a sharper mineral side.
