Thompson Bros found themselves fortunate, stumbling upon an opportunity to acquire three hogsheads of exceptionally well-sherried and reasonably matured blended Scotch whisky. Taking possession of these three hogsheads, they decided to combine them with two barrels of 11-year-old Speyside whisky matured in bourbon casks, the origin of which remains unknown.

20.8% of this blend comprises 1994 Strathclyde, refill barrel matured. The long maturation in refill bourbon adds a layer of texture to the blend.

Finally, they incorporated SRV5 extracted from Vat 5, transferring it into a former Australian Shiraz wine cask that had previously served to mature for beer by the talented individuals at Campervan Brewery in Edinburgh.
