Scottish Whisky : Scotch

Aged for 15 years in hand-picked oak barrels, this Speyside single malt Scotch whisky was distilled using peated malted barley at Tomintoul Distillery, giving that self-acknowledged 'Peaty Tang' uncommon in its region.

Bottled at a smooth 40% ABV, this release marks something of a follow up from this little beauty, only this edition has a declared age statement.

16 year old Tomintoul described as the gentle dram and that it is indeed. The whisky is a testament to the master distiller Robert Fleming, a fourth generation distiller. An excellent, light floral whisky, and at an absolute steal of a price.

Another wonderful Tomintoul from the Vintage Single Cask range, this one was distilled back in 1994 and rested in a single Oloroso sherry butt! Eventually, it was bottled up at cask strength, with an outturn of 681 bottles at 57.4% ABV, packing oodles of dark fruit and toffee.

Nose: Toffee sweetness with hints of ripe damsons, plums and berries. Vanilla and custard aromas join the medley

Palate: Exotic mix of sweet toffee, raisins, plums, glacé cherries and nutty nougat

Palate: Another wave of smoke followed by peppery oak, blackberry jam and chocolate spread on toast.
