NcNoch 5 Years Old PST (Phil & Simon Thompson)

NcNoch 5 Years Old PST (Phil & Simon Thompson) is a blended malt Scotch from the Thompson Brothers, Phil and Simon Thompson of Dornoch. The Thompson Brothers select and bottle it under their own labels. The brothers bottle a wide range of whisky alongside the malt from their own distillery.

The Thompson Brothers chase the fruit and texture of older Scotch. An ex-Bourbon cask held it, the young oak framing a fruity whisky. The blend is built for fruit and texture over the light and modern. An easy, fruit forward whisky chosen in the Thompson style. The cask brings a soft vanilla over the green, fruity spirit. Ex-Bourbon oak frames the young whisky, a light vanilla over the fruit. They built their name selecting and bottling characterful whisky under their own labels. A rich, fruity style that drinks well above its years. Bottled at natural colour, the full character is kept in the glass. Vanillin and oak lactones from the wood lend vanilla and a little coconut.

At a hearty 48.5% it carries real weight. Green apple, malt and a soft oil run through it, rich and fruity. A young oak and a soft vanilla give it shape. It finishes long, rich and oily. A characterful blended malt Scotch.
