Whisky Review #38: Thompson Bros - TB/BSW | 46% | Blended Scotch | Challenging the old guard

Today we look at the TB/BSW from The Thompson Bros. In the US this doesn't quite hit the same in regards to the value proposition as elsewhere, but there is no doubt that these guys know what they are doing.

Great review. I am also hoping this comes down in price. I like this. For me a 6/10 - Not a 7 for me because I would have like a bit less Sherry. You can definitely taste the quality, so I need to try the SRV5. I also agree about the Compass Box Orchard house, particularly in this summer heat.

Great Review. I think I paid $55 at K&L for both the SRV5 & TB/BSW. I picked up that Maclean's Nose on the same trip for $35 (took 2 for that price). I haven't really explored either much yet. My budget "go-to" might still be Benromach 10, although I'm seeing price closer to $50 than $40 now, so I may re-think that. Orchard House is a good shout btw. Costco's Kirkland Islay Singe Malt is pretty good for around $35 too. Also look out for the Murrray McDavid Single Malts which are also a bargain at $44. Those were also K&L Wines. Cheers.

Thanks for this! Great to see some value injections into the whisky scene, hopefully they can get the prices down to match what it is in the UK

Love this one. It reminds me of the way Macallan 12 used to taste in the early 2000s. This is $55 in my area, NY, as well and I'm perfectly happy paying that. Orchard House is $51 so it's not that much of a difference. It's a lot better than the other budget Compass Box blends like the Glasglow Blend. It's also better than Maclean's Nose or the Naked Grouse. Thompson Brothers right now is the best at producing these reasonably priced blends for connoisseurs.
