This is really fascinating as it has beautiful green apple, yellow plum and barley flavours on the nose but it is on the palate when you start to get this dragon's breath of peaty smoke coming through. No real hints of it on the nose so it makes for a pleasant surprise.
--------THE PRODUCER--------
Thomson Whisky
Thomson love what they do; making craft whisky for the modern enthusiast. After a few years mucking about on a home still and learning as much as we could about whisky they began the Thomson Whisky project as Independent Bottlers. They got hold of a few barrels of aged single malt from Willowbank Distillery, Dunedin, carefully selected to their personal tastes, to launch under the Thomson name. They started telling people about their whisky, sharing a drink with friends, then bartenders, and shops and people travelling overseas and their project started firing. A few years down the road and things have changed a lot. They are now distilling themselves like mad out in West Auckland.
