In stock
Mystery Malt is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by the team at Dornoch Distillery under their Thompson Bros label. This marks the fifth release in the series.
The whisky’s true identity is intentionally concealed — a hidden label beneath the bottle’s capsule reveals the distillery name and age.
Presented in sleek black glass and bottled at 46.3% ABV, this release is a carefully balanced composition drawn from a selection of casks spanning both new-wave and established distilleries. The majority of the whiskies range from 5 to 13 years old, with a select few older casks aged between 16 and 27 years.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a wine-dark glow suggesting sherry-influenced maturation.
Nose
An enigmatic bouquet of dark fruit and toasted oak unfurls with sherry glow. Dried figs and cherries lift with orange zest and a ribbon of ganache, while toffee, vanilla and gentle spice weave through rich, velvety layers. The aroma hints at a boutique, multi-cask blend—mysterious, refined, and inviting.
Palate
Opulent and layered on the palate, dark fig and plum meet glossy sherry sweetness, folded with chocolatey cocoa. Spices rise through toasted oak, espresso and dried fruit, carried by a silky texture with medium-full body. Warmth from 46.3% ABV lingers into a long finish of raisin, cacao, and subtle oak.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with lush sherry warmth and dark cocoa that lingers on the palate. A refined veil of spice—cinnamon and clove—weaves with a touch of oak tannin, fading to a warm, resinous glow. Dried fruit and espresso notes persist, delivering a graceful, elegant finish that invites the next sip.
