Thompson Bros. - Speyside Distillery 29 Year Old 1995

This 29-year-old whisky from Thompson Brothers was matured in a single Refill Sherry cask and distilled at Speyside Distillery, located in the heart of Speyside near the River Spey, making it a genuine Speyside and not a 'Secret Speyside'.

Official Tasting Notes:
Nose: Plum and wild strawberry, cinnamon, nutmeg, tomato leaves, umeshu, maple wood, dried red berries, pink grapefruit! Delightfully (surprisingly?) tropical, with green mangos coming out. Blood orange and a little bit of rubber.
Palate: Cranberry, fruit cake, those giant strawberries that you get in pick and mixes. Pink grapefruit again. There’s that earthy, woody, funky note that only really comes from a long time in refill sherry. Mushrooms that have been covered in brown miso paste.
Finish: Quite long. Some nice sherry spice at the end, maybe even something a little Christmassy.
