Not content with establishing one of the World’s leading whisky bars in Dornoch, brothers Phil and Simon Thompson have upped their ambitions and started making their own whisky and gin on-site at Dornoch Castle Hotel, forming Dornoch’s first whisky distillery. Thompson Bros at Dornoch Distillery was founded following a successful initial crowdfunding round in 2016 which saw 250 whisky lovers from all over the world eagerly put their hands in their pockets to secure hotly anticipated casks of new make spirit from Dornoch Distillery. A remarkably successful 2017 saw the team lay down casks of future single malt whisky and launch Thompson Brother’s Organic Highland Gin, available in 11 international markets. The success of Thompson Bros Organic Highland Gin and the need for more production, storage and distilling space led to the brothers launching the second round of crowdfunding in summer 2018 with the aim of expanding into a larger more versatile site.

This independently bottled single malt whisky has been taken from a single first-fill bourbon barrel and produced only 485 bottles for worldwide distribution. The spirit is from the Glen Ord distillery in the Scottish Highlands and has been complimented by the barrel in which it was stored and matured for 10 years.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Hot chocolate and marshmallows, creamy espresso coffee, honey sweetness and toasted grain bread with blonde caramel.

Palate: Orchard fruits of apple and pear, slightly floral and oily with a delicate spice.

Finish: The oak balances well with the floral notes and the orchard fruits deliver a long finish.
