Details
For this North Highland Blended Malt, Thompson Bros have ethically sourced ingredients from two local producers who operate within a 39.8-mile radius of Dornoch Distillery. Both distilleries pride themselves on their handcrafted and artisanal methods of production. Moreover, they employ traditional crop rotation, use sustainable biofuels, and use less water than most other distilleries. They also support fair trade and ensure that their distillers are paid above-market prices for their craft.
Their team of skilled blenders have brutally spliced these two distillates together while honouring the rich tradition of whisky making in the north highlands.
