700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Demerara sugar and rich custard up front, backed by a playful sweetness reminiscent of fruit jellies. There’s a subtle rubbery note intertwined with a sawdust-like mustiness. Hints of stone fruit emerge with time, adding a ripe, juicy dimension.
Palate: a coating layer of honeycomb wax leads the way, followed by stewed plums and a touch of floral plum jam. The wood-driven character carries through from the nose, adding grip and complexity. the texture is satisfyingly oily, allowing the flavours to linger.
Finish: honey on toast fades gently into zesty citrus pith, providing a slightly bitter counterpoint to the earlier sweetness. the woody notes remain but soften considerably, leaving a warm, balanced impression that encourages another sip.

Mystery Malt Series 5 from Thompson Bros consists of 38 whiskies, ranging in age from 5 to 27 years. They are all single malt Scotch whiskies, bottled at 46.3%, but you won't know which whisky you've got until you take the bottle home and break the foil seal, and lift the cap. You might end up with a Dornoch 5 Year (0.63% chance), a Miltonduff 17 Year (2.23%), a Glen Garioch 27 Year (1.91%), or one of 35 other options. The full list of potential whiskies can be viewed in the tasting note below!
Remember the excitement of opening a pack of hockey cards, or Pokémon cards for you Millennials!? Think of is the adult version of that... but you can drink the contents, and unlike the stale gum, it won't cut the roof of your mouth. We love the concept here, no matter what you get, you'll end up with something cool.
Thompson Bros uses an algorithm to make sure each sealed case is roughly equal, with a comparable mix of six different whiskies. So if you purchase a full sealed case, all six whiskies will be different, a perfect canned range for a club or group tasting.
Use this link for a full sealed case of 6 bottles of Thompson Bros. Mystery Malt Series 5 - this is a $100 savings over purchasing 6 bottles individually, but there are no further discounts available on it.

We are on always on the hunt for value, and a 27 year old Glen Garioch at 49.3% for just a tad over $300 fits the bill! This 1998 vintage Glen Garioch was supposedly matured in an oloroso sherry cask, but when the chaps at Thompson Bros. nosed it, they were pretty confident it was actually a Fino Sherry cask. Based on references in the tasting note, they might be right. Exclusive to KWM in Canada!
Producer Description
"We recently received a butt of Glen Garioch 1998, purchased blind based on the outstanding quality of previous casks from this vintage and with confidence, as the purchase order specified a 1st fill sherry butt. However, upon arrival and during our routine sensory analysis (someone's gotta do it), it became immediately apparent from visual assessment that this was not typical of 1st fill oloroso or px sherry, as we had initially expected. Instead, the spirit presented pronounced saline notes, followed by chamomile and fresh bread dough - characteristics that strongly suggest this cask is, in fact, a 1st fill fino sherry butt. We are now highly confident in that conclusion. the combination of distillate, time and oak interplay beautifully here. The nature of buying blind can be a bit risky, but very often those risks pay off in very interesting ways."
