GLENLIVET 50YO KICKS OFF A RARE WHISKY COLLECTION

One of Scotland’s rarest private cask collections will be bottled for the first time under the Finn Thomson Whisky brand, with Glenlivet 50-Year-Old as its first release. The Finn Thomson Whisky collection celebrates the Thomson family’s 300-year-long relationship with Scotch whisky.

The range is now being released by ninth-generation family member Finn Thomson. Finn’s great-great-grandfather Peter Thomson set up his namesake grocery and whisky business in Perth in 1908, alongside blended whisky giants Dewar’s, Bell’s, and Gloag. After the sale of the business in the 1980s, Michael Thomson, Finn’s grandfather, started stowing away the young malt and grain casks that made up the secret recipe of Beneagles whisky. The casks have been left to rest ever since.

Finn Thomson, master bottler, said: “For 300 years my forefathers have been involved in whisky – distilling, blending, and trading. And growing up, I was always fascinated by my grandfather’s recollections of his time in the whisky trade. These stories have inspired me to reignite the family business and create new experiences and innovations in the exciting world of single-cask independent bottlers.
