Scotland’s J.G. Thompson & Co Unveils Some New Whiskies

A new brand from Edinburgh, J.G. Thompson & Co, recently launched a new collection of small batch spirits with simple ingredients and complex flavors, including some whiskies.

The distillery’s first collection of small batch spirits includes a bold Jamaican rum, a citrus dry gin, three blended malt Scotch whiskies featuring Sweet, Smoky and Rich expressions and two exceptional limited edition aged whiskies — one 23-year-old blended malt scotch whisky and one 1972 blended grain.

All of the distillery’s spirits are crafted in small batches, meaning that the individual taste characteristics of each spirit will evolve with every new batch.

“Just like the Thomsons did in the 1700s, we’re constantly on the hunt for new spirits, flavours and tastes to explore from around the world, whether that’s handpicking whisky in Scotland or rum in Jamaica,” Emily Coyle from J.G. Thomson & Co, said in a prepared statement. “By focusing on creating small batches and limited editions, we want to explore different tastes and take full advantage of the opportunity to experiment, innovate, marry, blend, discover and learn.” 

Several of the distillery’s small batch spirits have already won industry awards, including a prized Master’s medal for Batch 1 of its 23-year-old blended Scotch whisky, golds for the first batches of its three blended malts and its gin at the Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2021. 

J.G. Thomson & Co. is being launched by the Artisanal Spirits Company, which owns the Scotch Malt Whisky Society and is building a portfolio of premium brands and curating collections of craft spirits.

In addition to its core range, J.G. Thompson & Co is launching with the first two batches in a series of limited edition whiskies; a rich, complex 23-year-old blended malt Scotch whisky made of 100% Speyside malts and a sweet 1972  blended grain Scotch whisky bringing what’s described as notes of honey, wax and ginger on the nose. 

“We believe there is a growing appetite for exceptional spirits among adventurous drinkers who are looking to taste something new and extraordinary,” Coyle said. “All our spirits are made using traditional methods such as small batch distillation, non-chill filtering and natural colour to focus entirely on taste and take people on a journey of discovery.” 

All of J.G. Thomson & Co’s small batch spirits are available to order from jgthomson.com/shop as well as ​​a range of leading whisky shops, bars and restaurants.
