Product Description
This exclusive bottling of Dornoch single malt was created to celebrate Whisky Show 2023. Typically old-fashioned in style – as we’ve come to expect from Phil and Simon Thompson – it has a nose reminiscent of light Jamaican pot still rum with notes of pineapple, guava, watermelon rind and overripe apples. A more mineral side emerges in the glass, showing chalk, boot polish and slightly industrial elements, completing the picture of an old-school single malt.
This limited-edition whisky was matured in a 100-litre bourbon barrel from Koval distillery, which also previously held a sherried Benrinnes. A highly-sought after bottling from one of Scotland’s smallest and – dare we say – most fun distilleries.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Joe Rogers, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Quite funky and rum-like at first with some overripe apples and pineapples and good cider vinegar – followed by agave syrup, aloe, toasted malt and proving dough.
Palate
Big and oily, showing notes of grass, linseed oil, spruce and sage. There’s also a mineral side that brings chalk, plaster of Paris, putty, boot polish and a little hint of industrial smokiness. Salt and vinegar crisps and vanilla ice cream. Water brings out more fruit, watermelon rind and papaya. Totally atypical with loads of personality.
Finish
Complex and palate coating with fresh malt, grist and cultured cream.
