Blair Athol Core Collection Private Cask 9 Year Old, First Fill Bourbon Hogshead Cask, Cask #302242, 2013, Finn Thomson, 59.6%

Representing the ninth generation, Finn Thomson is a young man who has inherited his family's 300-year-old passion for whisky. The Thomson name runs deep in Scottish whisky's history, dating back to 1772. Blair Athol is a distillery whose spirit often goes into well-known blends, making this high-quality single cask release a treat. This particular expression is part of Finn Thomson's Core Collection and Private Cask Collection, matured in a smaller than usual hogshead, leading to faster maturation and bottling at 9 years old.
