Description

The Thompson Bros Sutherland 2000 (19 Year Old) Netherlands Exclusive is a legendary 'mystery' malt that acts as a love letter to the coastal highlands. While the label technically says 'Sutherland,' the prominent cat logo and the distinct waxy profile are clear winks to the fact that this is Clynelish spirit. This specific release was bottled in late 2019 for the Dutch market and is highly sought after for its 'pure,' unadulterated highland character.

Nose
Classic and unmistakable. It opens with scented beeswax, furniture polish, and fresh wool. There is a bright, acidic fruitiness of grapefruit skin and green apple peels, followed by a saline, coastal air—think of sea spray on hot rocks. As it breathes, a sweeter, herbal side emerges, with hints of heather honey and dried chamomile.
Palate
The texture is the star here—thick, waxy, and oily, coating the entire mouth. The arrival is citrus-forward with lemon curd and lime zest, transitioning into a savory, slightly "dirty" profile of mineral oil, candle wax, and a touch of brine. Mid-palate, it turns creamy with vanilla custard and almond milk, balanced by a sharp white pepper and ginger spice.
Finish
Long, warming, and waxy. The waxiness lingers for minutes, accompanied by salted butter on toast, dried herbs, and a final, zesty burst of lemon peel.
