Quercus Alba is the Latin name for 'American white Oak' and this limited edition whisky is packed with oaky flavour. The heavy char on the virgin oak cask, Thomson's first and only cask of this kind, has activated rich tannins, dark toffee and deep wood flavours. The liquid inside is Manuka Smoke single malt, one of Thomson's most identifiable flavour profiles and a signature of their distillery. It's made using locally grown malt that has been smoked with native Manuka wood, mashed, fermented and then double distilled through the Thomson all copper pot stills. Tasting notes: Vanilla, black tea, clove and Manuka oils. Rich tannins, dark toffee, deep wood. Quercus Alba is limited to 274 bottles only - When it's gone, it's gone.
