This makes it legally unsuitable for sale as a \"single malt\" and necessitates labeling it as \"Blended Malt.\" This practice is typically a protective measure taken by distilleries to prevent independent bottlers from using their brand for commercial purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Specifications and Basic Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeer Name: Westport 24 Year Old 1996 (Thompson Bros.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottler: Thompson Bros (Phil \u0026amp; Simon Thompson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Vintage: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottling Date: January 1, 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 24 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCask Number: Cask #2502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCask Type: Refill Hogshead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol Content: 50.9% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: Limited to 193\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle Characteristics: Non-chill filtered, natural color, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis aged Westport, matured for 24 years, perfectly showcases the elegance and delicate fruitiness imparted by the distillery's tall stills:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Aromas of ripe apple and waxy honey, accompanied by soft toffee, quince, and fresh, clean grass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: On the palate, the sweetness of honeysuckle and subtle earthy notes emerge, followed by a strong maltiness, a blend of sweet and sour citrus fruits like orange and lemon, and even a hint of herbal coriander.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: The woody and grain notes have been transformed into a remarkably rounded finish during the long aging process, dominated by rich malt and a slightly acidic citrus finish, resulting in a very smooth overall character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wine's Link Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45781634875436,"sku":null,"price":3200.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/2008\/2220\/files\/8cb65b0e-7007-4dc6-b494-52316e4af235.jpg?v=1783655236","url":"https:\/\/wines-link-store.com\/products\/thompson-bros-blended-malt-westport-cask-2502-24yo-700ml-072026","provider":"Wine's Link Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
