Thompson Bros 8YO Northern Highland Blended Malt, 44.5% - Whisky Wednesday

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

There's something about Thompson Bros. label designs that make you want to buy their every bottle! Good that their whisky is delicious as well! Cheers Phil!

[@WhiskyWednesday]

They love a vintage reference!

This looks so good! Here in California, we get Thompson Brothers bottles through K&L wine, and I hope they bring this one over. They label it Redacted Bros in the US as someone already owns the Thompson Brothers name, but you still have the Thompson Brothers corks 😅. Cheers

[@WhiskyWednesday]

That makes it a little cooler, in all honesty. 1984 labels.

[@cantbendknee]

Yes people, just tried it and it is that good. We are almost in August, one of the drams of the year, I think so.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Easily.

I managed to get a bottle in the UK and I enjoyed it!! Great thoughts! Terrific channel!! Thanks!!🙏

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Happy to hear you got one! It is delicious.

The font is fu*kin Arial, and yet it looks perfect. Well done to Thompson Bros.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

They can do no wrong. Even with arial!

Bought it, and I am loving it. I can't see this bottle lasting for long ❤

[@WhiskyWednesday]

It's so good!

Love the SRV5 8yr and theTB/BSW 6yr, so will give this one a go. Got the Midge after you're review very nice 🙂

[@WhiskyWednesday]

I need to try those SRV bottles. The Midgie and this are such good value releases!

[@whiskytoon]

Great review!

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Thank you!

[@cantbendknee]

Yes I've ordered this. Need to support the bros making delicious concoctions.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

100%

[@Stabilized]

I was the same as you I saw the label and bought it straight away

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Just had to be done. The last time I saw that branding, I was only old enough to buy chocolate and crisp.

[@jameszimmerman8701]

I would enjoy the heck out of that! Problem being I won’t ever see it here in Massachusetts! Enjoy some more for me! Nice review! Always enjoy your content

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Ah, sorry, man. I always hate to hear when folks can't get this stuff. Another dram for you tonight. Thank you so much! It means alot.

[@hicksy771]

I think the label is tongue in cheek. Cheap looking things can be great. That was the whole point of the label Great review by the way wish we could get it in Oz.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

It's a good bit of fun! I'm hoping some of it ends up in Oz!, even if it's just behind a bar for you to try.

[@jamesw6403]

Have you tried the Thompson Bros Blended Scotch TB-BSW 6 Year Old? It's equally drinkable and also incredible price.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Haven't! Nearly got one in Edinburgh but opted for a Craigellachie instead. But it is on the list.

[@jbar6284]

Sounds lovely, Phil. Thanks for reviewing it. Sadly Thompson Bros. range is not available in nz.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Could it be worth dropping them a line to see if they can ship directly to you? The customs charges on your end could be a lot, though.

[@-xirx-]

I have drunk Tesco value whisky before. It didn't have the blue lines, but the rest of the label is perfect. It cost £7.99 in 2003

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Can't promise you that price with this, but it's still insane value.

[@thelion43]

Tesco value whisky 😂

[@WhiskyWednesday]

The finest.
