Tomintoul

Tomintoul's 'With a Peaty Tang' is made just twice a year at the distillery, using barley which has been dried with peat smoke. The aroma is soft and sweetly smoked, with a floral (heathery) and herbacious quality. To taste, the unmistakable flavour of peated malt, slightly biscuity and nutty with a classic Speyside fruity (pear) sweetness as well. The finish is long, with mouth-drying smoke notes lingering. One of the consistently good non-Islay peated malts around.

This limited edition Tomintoul has spent the last 18 months of its 12 year maturation in Olorose Sherry casks which has given it a well rounded, creamy richness whilst staying true to its soft style.

From one of Speyside's newer distilleries, Tomintoul was founded in 1964 and is known as 'the gentle dram'. Suggestions of citrus, along with toffee and raisins, combine with well balanced oak that gives a enduring sweet and spicy finish.

The nose of this 14 year old Tomintoul has an inviting, delicate, soft and creamy character that leads onto the palate. Flavours of sweet, nutty malt also come though leading up to a complex and slight peppery finish.
