Description
Finn Thomson is the ninth generation of a Perthshire whisky family whose roots run from illicit stills on the banks of the Tay to the Golden Beneagles blend that poured through Gleneagles in the 1920s. The casks Finn bottles today were laid down by his grandfather Michael in the 1980s and 90s — one of Scotland’s largest private family cask collections, kept back when the rest was sold. Now they’re being released, one cask at a time, to a new generation of drinkers.
Taste
Peated Caol Ila, distilled in 2014, twelve years old, finished in a white Port cask and bottled by Finn Thomson at 54.5% cask strength, natural colour, non-chill filtered. The second of the two Caol Ilas in Finn’s last bottling run of 2026.
White Port is the pale cousin of the ruby and tawny most people know: made from white grapes, often aged in old wood, dry to off-dry, with honey, almond and dried apricot. It is a quieter finish than a red Port, and that is the point. It sweetens the edges of Caol Ila’s lemon-and-brine smoke without turning it purple. 181 bottles worldwide, 24 of them for the United States.
