Dornoch 6 Years Old 2020

Based in the historical town of the same name, Dornoch Distillery is situated within the grounds of the castle, in the old fire station which is tiny at under 50 square metres in size. Every drop of spirit that Dornoch produces is precious. This is a family-owned distillery, with the Thompson Brothers preference for the older styles of whisky, which is about maximising flavour before reaching the cask. This process is more manually intensive, epic fermentation times and a less efficient enterprise than other distilleries, but the proof is in the end result. Their debut whisky arrived in 2020 and promptly sold out. With the Thompson Brothers having a successful independent bottling range, the distillery and warehouse are a hive of activity. With their own casks and those from Crowdfunders, we will be seeing more Dornoch whisky in the coming years, but it will be extremely scarce and in high demand.
