This is a big brutal young sherry cask Ben Nevis - people love it or hate it. You decide.... Thompson Brothers from the Dornoch Castle Hotel ran one of the best whisky bars in the world and now are an independent bottler with fantastic whisky in colourful unmistakeable bottles. Now they have released their first whiskies from Dornoch Distillery - expecting great things as they rarely disappoint. Imported to Australia by Select Spirits/The Elysian - worth checking their store for when the next bottles come in.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
