Finn Thomson - Linkwood 2014 - 11 Year Old

"This is Scotland meeting Jamaica in a glass and a fitting tribute to my grandparents’ respective life journeys.

This cask release is a tribute to this side of my story. I have always wanted to create something that has a link to Jamaica so when I was offered Jamaican rum casks I jumped at the opportunity to experiment with them in a series of cask finishes. This is the first of them - an 11 year old Linkwood finished for a year in Jamaican rum. I think it has worked like a dream.

My grandfather’s impact on my whisky journey has of course been monumental and many of my cask selections for Finn Thomson Whisky have a direct link to him and his personality. This Linkwood however is inspired by my late grandmother Rosemary. Rosemary moved to Scotland from Jamaica when she was 18 to study at St Andrews University where she met my grandfather and eventually settled in Perth. I have made multiple trips to the island to reconnect with family members and discover more about my roots.
